I think it's a really bad idea to clutter up out main page with more
buttons.
OtOH, I think we can be a lot more draconian, and can get these
problems solved much faster, if we do one simple thing. Every time a
message about deprecated WML gets sent to the console, ALSO throw a
dialog about it, right up in the user's face.
It'll get stuff fixed in a jiffy.

At the moment there's quite a lot of UMC which uses deprecated WML and
it doesn't seem to get fixed. I think this might be partly caused
by the
fact people don't know things are broken; most people don't look at
the
console output Wesnoth generates.
To solve the problem I want to make a new logger, which stores all WML
problems encountered in Wesnoth and adds an extra button on the
startup
page. This button named broken WML will show the messages encountered.
If no messages are available the button will be grayed out, if
there are
messages the button will be red so it really gets noticed. I _want_
the
button to be intrusive so it does get noticed and not overlooked.
Next to that I think it might be nice if some syntax will be obsoleted
that the message will contain when the support gets removed. After the
support has been removed the message can stay for a while to indicate
when the support has been removed.
Once we find somebody who wants to work on the new campaign server we
can also start to block content which in known to be broken or at
least
give an indication that it is broken.
How does this sound?
