Re: Beta wiki extension debugging

Thank you. It sounds very good. And I think I can live without multiple
languages, at least for this task. And no, I would not like to do it
locally, this is much better. Is there some documentation for all these
wonders in PatchDemo? I don't want to ask you all dozen of questions if
somebody already wrote it once.
