Thread:Talk:PDF rendering/Architecture/Simple set up for casual MediaWiki users/reply (5)

If the user has PHP and "one other scripting language" installed, it doesn't seem to make a compelling difference whether that "other scripting language" is python or node.

That said, currently the real barrier to Jane Wikipedia is actually all the *other* stuff needed for PDF rendering: fonts, LaTeX, python extensions, imagemagick, pngcrush, etc, etc. There are lots of issues here, but rest assured we're not deliberately trying to make the system harder to install.
