Hacking topics:
 * ✔ Primerpedia (improved mobile/fluid view; fixed xml mode)
 * improved mobile/fluid view
 * find out how to fix the xml mode (use xhtml extension rather than xml)
 * eventually disable the xml mode because the extracts aren't well-formed xml... yet
 * removed special element hiding rules from css, and implement them in Extension:TextExtracts instead
 * ✔ Get my pending changes merged
 * 62157: installer image, change to css background to avoid underline on whitespace -- addressed Krinkle's comments, rebased; waiting for merge now
 * 65613: install.php cleanup -- reviewed it with Mark, address his comment on the db path, actually implement the "deoptionalization" of the admin username parameter, rebased; waiting for merge now
 * 65554: rename _AdminPassword2 to _AdminPasswordConfirm -- rebased, merged :)
 * 30641: reorganize commonPrint.css -- abandoned, instead submitted two smaller edits here and here
 * ✔ Gerard talked me into requesting the adding of kea to wikidata.
 * Ask Krinkle to update the jsUpdater (see relevant thread)
 * Test and streamline the install.php one-liner:
 * Specifically, get this change merged, test to identify other points to improve, and add some content to Manual:Install.php
