Hi! I think will be good idea if prototype.wikimedia.org should support SUL since it's part of wikimedia.org.
Since prototype has its own database server, it doesn't have access to the shared centralauth database, which AFAICT makes it hard or even impossible to set up SUL.
Er... forgive me for being obtuse, but what exactly is so important that we need *yet another* random wikimedia wiki that nobody knows about set up?

An announcement about this should be made soon.
Announcement was made already (http://blog.wikimedia.org/2009/06/02/brewing-ideas-for-the-wikipedia-usability-initiative/). From usability point of view, wiki from wikimedia.org which doesn't support SUL looks kinda strange :-)
These wikis are hosted separately because they contain lots of raw experimental code and we don't want to expose all our core databases to them. We currently have no capability set up for remote SUL access, so can't do this yet. Resolving LATER.
[Removing deprecated RESOLVED LATER - setting RESOLVED WONTFIX as Prototype server is about to be killed.]
