Yes, that's what I meant. It'd still be nice if you had a tarball or
something in case someone felt like taking a peek (others may be
interested in how you've changed the skin to integrate it better with
the site).

I brought it up once before :) I didn't have much hope then since you
guys were on a much older version, but if you made it work with 1.3.7
then it couldn't be that hard to plug back into the main branch if
someone wanted to. Besides, if it makes it in, that's one less thing
you'll have to change on some future release of MediaWiki you decide
to install (or do you have some way of doing the patch automagically?)
