That's the only feature that matters, so everyone can run their own slightly customized [[GFDL corpus access provider]]. Basically [[Project Xanadu]] but 35 years late.

			Moved from article:

			The main difference is that MediaWiki 1.3 has a [[XML import]] that is available only to the [[sysop power structure]]. This seems to 142.177.X.X to be a ploy to kill off GetWiki, after which support for this feature, which makes it easy to [[fork off]] with the [[GFDL Corpus]], will probably (in the opinion of 142.177.X.X) be withdrawn or limited or "bugged up" to make it useless. There is no incentive, (in the opinion of 142.177.X.X) once GetWiki dies, for MediaWiki's developers (some of whom are involved with [[Wikimedia]]) to support an XML-based fork.

			:FYI It's not functional in 1.3 thus it is disabled for all. You can turn it on in your own installation by uncommenting a line or two (look for "return 0;" in SpecialImport.php) to find out it doesn't yet work. --[[User:Juxo\|Juxo]] 16:44, 29 Sep 2004 (EEST)

			Some, such as [[Tim Starling]], have engaged in activities that strongly suggest (in the opinion of 142.177.X.X) that they deliberately offer tools such as [[vandalbot]]s to those who attack such services, e.g. 142.177.X.X claims this was done to [[Recyclopedia]]. Accordingly it may be better (in the opinion of 142.177.X.X) to stick to GetWiki just to have a hedge against the [[sysop power structure]], which in the opinion of 142.177.X.X controls Mediawiki code.

Jukeboksi: There are some bugs such as the "remember my session"-option in login does not work. These are fixed in rc4, but there is some uncertainty to the upgrade process.
