Add WikiTeX to Wikimedia server farm
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Author: leercontainer-bugzilla

Description:
WikiTeX enables coding of music, chemical formulas, chess and much more. It has
been requested several times. My intention with this bug is to track issues that
WikiMedia og MediaWiki developers have with it, interest, and such.

Myself I think we should perhaps decide to use only a subset of the
functionality provided so as not to make things too complicated, and not start
using WikiTeX if we'd rather use something else (see f. ex. ABC music notation
standard at bug # 189).

From reading:
http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2004-December/thread.html#26670

it looks pretty clear that the major holdup preventing WikiTeX implementation is
security.
