I'd been meaning to reply to this earlier but all my time has been sucked up by a conference and then getting the flu (my wife insists its just a cold....) Anyway, here is the list I have of interested wikis:
se.wikimedia.org (4865) ast.wikipedia.org (34957) gu.wikipedia.org (44141) el.wikipedia.org (249208) fr.wikisource.org (1505859) ---------------------------------------- nl.wikipedia.org (3171221) it.wikipedia.org (3484831) We've deployed CirrusSearch as a secondary on bn.wikipedia.org and all wikivoyages. You should be able to test it with the srbackend=CirrusSearch parameter on the search results page. I think bnwiki's community is already trying out CirrusSearch. It'd be wonderful if you could ask the wikivoyage communities to do the same. I'll see about getting a deployment slot for the wikis above that line. The ones below it are "bigger" and might want to wait until we get the hardware that we've been promised "real soon now." Once those above the line are in I'll measure our headroom again and grab either nlwiki or itwiki in a later deployment window.
