I'm not a real MediaWiki developer, so it may be a silly question: How hard it is to convert a gadget into an extension? If it's not too hard, wouldn't it be better to redo useful gadgets as extensions? Unless i miss something very basic, this will make them easier to maintain, install, update and localize. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com "We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace." - T.
