Hi Roy, Thank you for your interest! Your background sounds great. I like Django too, but think it may be overkill for this particular project. Nothing is set in stone, though, and I appreciate suggestions on the tech stack we end up going with. A few other people have expressed interest too, so

The biggest issues I see are the lack of any good logging, monitoring and alerting tools. Things like icinga, logstash, grafina. The kind of things that are standard for supporting any production system. I've raised this before, so I won't belabor the point here. And

Hi, it looks like there is nobody who can work on a bug or production error like this: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T316858 I don't think, that this is a production error but really a bug. If it's not possible to open a page ( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Doc_Taxon/Test4 ) because
