I asked Brion on the Paris meeting and he said he'd have a look. But, I didn't hear anything back, so I assume he didn't. wikimedia.org doesn't list an official CTO, so for the time being, I guess Tim Starling is the person to ask. Last time I had a long look at the code, the extension part seemed to be in good condition. One half is using it as a special page (just a wrapper around the current code calls), and getting the wiki template from the cache instead of the http rendering. Compatability might have deteriorated since then, though. > I don't know why but I have no access to geohack-scripts anymore. > So I can't do anything. I'm still travelling, and probably won't have both access and time to work on it until end of next week. I guess the way to go is to get http://toolserver.org/~geohack/ operational as a stop-gap until someone finally gets around to sign off the extension and install it on the live site. It seems to work /almost/ correctly. Maybe not all settings were migrated: http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Berlin¶ms=52_30_2_N_13_23_56_E_ Cheers, Magnus > > Greetings Kolossos > > > river wrote: >> Hi, >> >> As announced two months ago, we are planning to EOL the stable server in >> favour of multi-maintainer projects on the normal Toolserver.
