Re: [Wikitech-l] Revision metadata as a service?

Yes, a failed piece of rotting [configuration] code on en.wiki is called "Pending changes"; this doesn't mean that the extension, used by over 200 wikis, has been affected in any way. Nemo ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org ht

Great! Thanks. * "Advertised Bandwidth 3.3 MB/s", what does it mean and can it be increased? * I see in puppet that there is at least some logging enabled. What is being logged and why? "The best policy is to keep no logs."

The real-time collaboration mock ups that Pau created and we presented at Wikimania have a feature which is similar, where you can see who else is currently editing a given page (and be notified when another edit starts) even if you don't choose to start/join a collaborative editing session. But e
