(I assume "holidays" here means US thanksgiving and today "weekend".) As some of the delays seem to stem from "internal project", how about hiring/funding someone knowledgeable about the current Toolserver (or another tileserver) setup and assisting *them* in setting it up at WMF instead of the other way around which appears to be *far* more laborious? Quotes like (emphasis added): "The *best* way to scale would be to render the whole database to vector tiles. The software setup for this is an *unknown* to me (and I'm guessing most who aren't directly involved), [...]" make me cringe. Let's leave optimizing the code to people who actually know it. A *lot* of hardware can be bought before we need to throw away running code. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
