You want them out of the code entirely, or only in once place (e.g. the mediawiki.schema file)? I'm all for the latter, especially as we can also automate the updating of the MW pages once we have a sane, machine-parseable schema in place.

I'm also loath to add another dependency, which I'm sure at the end of the day we are going to have to [monkey] patch anyway. -- Greg Sabino Mullane [email protected] End Point Corporation PGP Key: 0x14964AC8
