It is good just knowing that it is in the queue. Have you considered making a version of static HTML Wikipedia where there are no user talk and discussion pages that eating up half the space (like the 5GB XML dump for English Wikipedia)? As in the previous E-Mail, it is impossible to delete millions of pages through Windows Vista's search function (I left it overnight, and it ended up eating 1.3GB of RAM and maxing out one of my cores. Even deleting a single file took minutes). _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
