--- Comment #74 from Neil Kandalgaonkar <[email protected]> 2011-05-28 17:01:16 UTC --- I don't know anything special about the Google News Sitemap format. I was looking into the Image extensions for Commons. Then I got interested in the question of why we don't do sitemaps generally. I've collected some info about that which I can share here, but I think that WikiNews is thinking somewhat differently about Sitemaps. It seems that you're really interested in getting recent items indexed fast, so GNSM works (as far as I can tell) more like an RSS feeder -- there's a single URL you hit to get the latest stuff, and if you miss an hour or two, too bad. But for Wikipedia and Commons, we want the entire collection indexed, and hopefully by more than just Google, and with richer metadata. This is going to take some kind of incremental approach, long term, although we can do some of it even with the old batch-oriented sitemap scripts. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
