That's absolutely amazing. :-) Really nice work.
Is there an open source QR code generator that could be used, rather than using Google or
Kaywa? If there is, then that makes it a lot easier to persuade the community to adopt
this as standard.
Yes, there are plenty. I was going to suggest that instead of using
Google we could have one put up on
Toolserver.org, but it looks like
you can't hotlink images from wikipedia to toolserver. We could still
put it up on Toolserver so Wikimedia projects can use it.

I've updated my user page to have a QR code:

If you want to test your QR code on your computer, there's an AIR app
which uses the webcam on your laptop:
