Thread:Project:WikiProject Extensions/Ideas/Link within Extension to allow developers to solicit donations/reply (17)

I'm not really sure of this, but of all those thousands of extensions, I would guess there's maybe 50 to 100 that could be called "significant". That narrows the scope quite a lot, but even without that narrowing, a "leadership role" could be defined in a way that achieves something useful for all extensions. I agree about the community needing to be part of this. Simply categorizing-away the obsolete and abandoned extensions is a start. What do we want? Here's some ideas:


 * 1) Some way to differentiate maintained extensions from unmaintained extensions.
 * 2) Notifying extension authors that their extension is not compatible with an upcoming version of MediaWiki.
 * 3) Establishing ongoing, coordinated dialog to identify needs and ways to efficiently address them.

Any others?
