There's been some questions recently about

Should contributions to peripheral things like this be limited to PHP?
If I had a Python contribution, would it be used?
Various supplementary things are in Python, C, C++, Java, and C#. And of
course our TeX processor is in Objective CAML. ;)
Also, on PostgreSQL schema--- is this being worked, or
would it be
useful for me to work on it? I'm doing a project using WP data on a
psql db.
Domas had ported MediaWiki 1.4 to PostgreSQL, minus some niceties like
the installer. It hasn't been maintained however and the schema files
are almost certainly not updated for 1.5.
If you'd like to help get this up to speed in CVS that would be cool;
Kate has added some bits for supporting Oracle as well and there may or
may not be a little more infrastructure now for supporting multiple
backends with the installation and updaters.
