From the comments:

"People who have programming skills should enjoy better productivity and lower frustration while editing Wikipedia. Perhaps most exciting is how many people will have a gentle and practical introduction to programming because of this."

A lot of people on HN get down on Wikipedia because of deletionists etc. and support a forked version but the fact is Wikipedia is the most salient expression of the spirit of the internet. Google is great but is a business with all the downsides that entails, project abandonment etc. Maybe I am gushing but Wikipedia is without peer.
