Gilles, many thanks for your work on integrating the work of the
MediaWiki students; I think great progress has been made, and I know
the students are really happy to see their work is valued.

I would just like to warn you that the MediaWiki / Wikimedia Commons
export tool is not yet ready for release; it's ok to include it git
for people who compile from source, but it shouldn't be part of a
general release in its current state. There are a few bugs, as well as
mandatory features that are still missing. I'll make a list of things
that need to be fixed & added to make the plugin production-ready.

If the plugin is released in its current state and people start using
it, their account may be blocked by the Wikipedia & Commons community
because the uploads don't conform to the community policies. It will
cause frustration to our users, and it will make the Wikipedia &
Commons community suspicious towards the plugin in the future.

As you know, I'm eager to get the plugin released; we just need to
polish it first. The plugin is an opportunity to recruit a lot of
users, and I wouldn't want it to backfire on us.
