If we find that doesn't work then we'll steer the conversation back to wikitech. But here is my reasoning The admin list was meant to receive any and all automated mails from the backup system and I didn't want to busy the readers of wikitech-l with that noise. Previously there was a single recipient of any failures which was not very scalable or transparent. The discussion list was meant to capture consumers who have approached me that are active users of the dumps but have no direct involvement with mediaiwki and are not regular participants of this list. This runs the list of researchers, search engines, etc .. that are not concerned with all the other conversation that go on wikitech and simply want updates on any changes within the dumps system . --tomasz _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
