By "we" I meant "MediaWiki developers".

And by "aren't really interested in," I should clarify that I'd like for 
us to remove from the page ideas that people do not want incorporated 
into MediaWiki in any way -- core, extensions, 
scripts/utilities/gadgets, etc.  If you look at an idea and think, "even 
if this were well-implemented I wouldn't want us to merge it in," please 
remove it.

I also want us to remove ideas that students could not possibly 
reasonably do in a summer, or that another developer is already 
half-done implementing (and doesn't want a student developer's help with 
it).

OK!  I figured people would leave their reasons for deletion in the 
Summary line as they revised the page, but strikethrough works too.
