Summary: Translate texvc into a more widely used language
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Page rendering

The work on texvc seems to be stuck.[1] I guess the major cause is the language
it is written in. Most files were not updated for years, even though there are
bugs and feature requests pending.[2]
Maybe even more important is the fact, that it is difficult to compile the
extension without root access, because mostly none web hoster has an Ocaml
compiler installed. If there would be any chance to use a script language, you
chould do it.
*Any* language would fit better. (C, perl, …)
IMHO you should drop texvc at all in favor of mimetex/mathtex.
