I don't like idea that it's on a wiki page. That way some people can contribute (everyone is controversial term when it comes to wiki editing, let's say everyone who isn't blocked, not matching some range blocks, not using a tor or not using an open proxy and many others...)
The reason why I don't like idea of having this on a wiki page is that it will be never so cool as it is using that code this guy created. It let you interactively pick what you want - mediawiki can't create such a page, or it can but it would be overly complicated. If you want "Everyone" to be able to contribute, install this to wikimedia labs, and make the project open enough. On Sun, Apr 7, 2013 at 5:23 PM, MZMcBride <[email protected]> wrote: > K.
