So the concern about uploading scripts to MediaWiki is about how I
figured it. If there is a flaw in MediaWiki (or possibly the web
server), uploaded scripts can be an attack vector.

Since we're likely to want more and more examples for people, I think
opening a new git repo for cross-project examples (with
sub-directories per sub-project?), or just putting examples directly
in other repos is probably the way to go. We should be able to provide
direct links from the wiki to download scripts via HTTP.

You can always paste the contents of a script in to a <pre/> block,
which helps with annotating in the wiki etc.
