I've co-authored two extensions that need an additional hook and additional parameters to two existing hooks. I am requesting commit access so that I may upload the extensions and amend the hooks. The first is a spellchecker that I posted here a few months ago: http://code.google.com/p/wikimediaspellchecker/ along with some contributed improvements that I've received. I understand (based on reading the archives) that this won't be included on wikipedia but it is useful for people who have their own mediawiki installations, at least until ff 2.0 or ie7 become standard everywhere. Some users of our wiki prefer this spellcheck extension over the browser spell checkers and google spell check because of its UI and ability to have separate custom dictionaries per wiki. Ideally I'd like to commit this to the extensions directory so that it can be more easily improved by interested persons. If that isn't possible I'd like to at least commit a hook addition so that users of this extension don't have to change the mediawiki source every time they download a new version of mediawiki. The second is a "track changes" / "svn blame" view that shows who is responsible for what portions of an encyclopedia entry. Here are some screenshots: http://people.virginia.edu/~kjl3d/newlinks.png http://people.virginia.edu/~kjl3d/trackchangesview.png This is not ready for wikipedia yet but is, again, useful for smaller local instances of mediawiki. Ideally I'd like to get this checked in to the extensions directory so that parties interested in improving it can do so. I'll be updating and improving it for a while but it is usable (and being used locally) as is. I'd also like to commit some additional parameters to a few hooks that this extension uses for the reasons outlined above (users don't have to change the mediawiki source every time they update their mediawiki version). Therein lies my request for commit access.
