Earlier this spring, there was some talk, perhaps within the newly founded Wikimedia Norway chapter, to set up a common server in Norway for analysing database dumps and running bot scripts, i.e. a toolserver with everything except the database replication.
Did this happen? Are there a bunch of such servers around the world today? Is there a list of such servers? Should we encourage people to do this, or should we try to concentrate work (and pool resources) to the (real / German) toolserver? Concentrating to fewer servers has the advantage that people can get a single account there, and join each project that is already there. Distributing over multiple, independent servers has the advantage of offloading the central server. It might also seem like an attractive project for a new Wikimedia chapter, since a server of their own looks like an achievement in itself. But it is also a waste of resources to maintain separate servers, if these resources could instead be pooled. -- Lars Aronsson ([email protected]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l
