Heh. The compelling arguments for migration to me are: 1. This gives you structured JSON, no need to futz around with IRC colors. This is a big one, I think 2. Easier to extend from the mediawiki side, so more events should be easier to add. 3. Far easier to consume rcstream than IRC Feeds (Websockets vs IRC) 4. Running our own IRC server is not the most fun thing in the world, and our ops team would like to not have to keep doing that forever. I find (1) and (3) most compelling - look at the client examples on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/RCStream#Client, they're vastly simpler than similar examples for IRC -- Yuvi Panda T http://yuvi.in/blog _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
