Vagrant's a cool tool for making sure dependencies are isolated and reproduceable in production, but the current development environment setup instructions do work and aren't all that onerous. I used them recently to set up a development environment without any problems. On Sun, Apr 7, 2013 at 10:03 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > ...

I think a sandbox with a full data set would be useful for people testing bots, scripts, etc. Without a full close-to-live data set, the only place to test these is on the production server which is, obviously, dangerous. It wouldn't need as much horsepower as the production server(s), but it would need all the data. The scheme that Freebase uses is to refresh the sandbox database from the production database once a week. This wipes out any changes which were made to sandbox (including disasterous test run results) and keeps it in rough sync with production. Tom
