We welcome more positionings at the URL above. Anybody can participate, and
we seek more quantity and diversity of participants. You can make a
difference in a few minutes:

1. At
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_conduct_for_technical_spaces/Draft,
read the intro, Principles, Expected behavior, Unacceptable behavior. The
rest will come later.

2. At
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Code_of_conduct_for_technical_spaces/Draft#Follow-up_consensus_discussion_on_intro.2C_.22Principles.22.2C_.22Expected_behavior.22_and_.22Unacceptable_behavior.22_sections,
leave your possitioning: {{accept}}, {{neutral}}, or {{oppose}}, and your
signature. Additional comments are welcomed but not required.

That's it. If you want to follow the discussion, good. If you don't or you
can't, that is fine too. We will send calls for more feedback for the rest
of sections. Then we will organize a final call for feedback for the whole
Code of Conduct, widely announced though the Wikimedia technical spaces.

Thank you!

Hi, I have a hunch that discussions about search moved to the Discovery

[Wikitech-l] What is the status of Cirrus Search development?

2015-10-03 Thread billinghurst 
For a while Cirrus Search was the "bee's knees"[1] around here, and we were
got to the stage that all wikis were moved onto this search functionality.

Then silence.  Complete and utter silence.

Presumably there has been stuff happening out of the public eye, and I am
not wanting to dig into personal areas, however, the silence on what was a
key development is very disappointing.  Can we please have an update.
Thanks.
