manipulexity
Hi there. You say this is a noun, but the definitions seem to be either adverbs (from scratch etc) or a verb (to slowly hand-craft etc). So, it needs some work. Also, I am not convinced that it isn't a protologism). Cheers. SemperBlotto 11:43, 8 December 2007 (UTC) p.s.

 * re noun/adverb/verb i'm quite happy for this to be adjusted, grammer not being any of my strong suits, also see below for quote with other forms.
 * re protologism? Yes, industry specific, but dating from around 2000, which is reasonably mature by computing standards, & here are refs outside the Perl comp. language community:
 * re adding whipupitude; well, that depends if you folks here in the Wiktionary think that manipulexity is suitable for inclusion    8)
