Is Jason Holt's Nym server (or something like it) in use now, to allow
Tor users to pseudonymously authenticate to Wikipedia?

I've submitted the patch, but the coders don't seem very enthusiastic about including it. I think the next step will be to approach the wikipedia bureaucrats with a proposal. That would be easier for me if more people tried the demo and emailed me with feedback, so I could argue that a significant userbase is ready to use the feature if adopted.
