I need this extension:

installed on the Cherokee Wikipedia. Is there a page somewhere on meta
for this purpose to request Brion to install the
extension for editing in Sequoyah Syllabary? I did not see a page for
requesting extensions installed. I know when I install
extensions, I have to do it from the unix login and its not normally
possible to install them from the web interface.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
As Rob said, file them in our Bugzilla, but be prepared to explain why
you need a separate C utility for efficient conversion. Wouldn't
script variants be ideal for this, if there's an algorithmic way to
convert from Latin to Sequoyah and back? We already do that for
Chinese and Serbian, and it allows people to view things in Latin if
they prefer.
In would agree that a php based version would be preferable. Let's hold
off on integrating it
until I can get one written, or someone on MediaWiki development can
volunteer to convert the
C program to php. Either way, you guys let me know.
Jeff
