Yes, that was my point, too. How do you intent to
distribute all the
wonderfull little "code-snippets" written on wikipedia to other
wikis?
If they're working from a database dump, they'll be in the dump.
That would be only usefull for people who want to replicate the entire
wikipedia, e.g. almost none. I was speaking about the thousand other
wikis that run mediawiki.
If you meant more generally, I suppose they could be
copied to meta and
categorized if really useful.
So you need to re-invent software distribution for them (which was my
point).
And you also need:
* testing framework
* versioning
* debugging
* profiling
* security reports, updates and packaging
If the feature is really so usefull as claimed, than we will see thousand
little usefull computing templates littered all over the place. That will
be messy and I don't want neither to maintain it, nor take blame when it
blows up (e.g. becomes unmanageble).
I place dibs on the first Template:Virus in late 2007 :-D
