Thread:Extension talk:WYSIWYG/Why does the page say that the extension is not actively maintained?/reply (2)

Yeah, sorry about the conspiracy rant, I'm just a bit of an open software fanatic, by which I mean I really don't like how much influence Wikipedia has over the popularity of extensions that they had no part in developing. Wikipedia and the Wikimedia foundation are separate, but I just think they should be a lot more separate than they already are. I think that having a massive reference entity that everyone looks to to figure out which extensions they should be using isn't a good idea, because it risks pushing technically inferior extensions to the fore because ease of use is valued over scalability and performance, which in this case is exactly what happened.

And as far as the share button thing, I know that's very, very old news, and a social media framework is very trivial in an encyclopedia, but I'm still a bit disappointed that Wikipedia, which put actual paid developers behind it, couldn't even get it into alpha and eventually gave up, while Uncyclopedia managed it about a year ago. The share button on the Android app is great, but my impression is that a lot more was intended.
