I asked, and they said they would "put this extension through our
security review." Is there anything they should be told about
installing or configuring mw-slidy?

Our admins installed it, and I've been using it for a few days.
So far mw-slidy works as advertised

https://github.com/dov/mw-slidy/blob/master/README.mediawiki

(with one minor exception

https://github.com/dov/mw-slidy/issues/1

and a slightly larger caveat, about which I've made a feature request

http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitext-l/2012-April/000694.html

) which is great! Just add a tag to one's wikitext, et voilà! one can
display one's wiki content as presentation slides.

HTH, Tom Roche <Tom_Roche [at] pobox>
