Actually, yes. :) I've occasionally heard from other folks using them for stuff, but indeed Yahoo is still grabbing them. The script needs some cleaning up, and it wouldn't hurt to rearchitect how it's generated in general. (First-sentence summary extraction is also being done in OpenSearchXml for IE 8's search support, and I've improved the implementation there. It should get merged back, and probably merged into core so we can make the extracts more generally available for other uses.) -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
