I can only assume by this post that you're completely out of the loop on FlaggedRevs and have received no support from Wikimedia tech staff. There's no need for performance testing since we've been running it on our second-biggest wiki for 18 months and the hardware requirements there can be extrapolated to the English Wikipedia. Domas tells me that that extrapolation leads to some concern that we might approach our hardware limits on the s1 cluster. The sums need to be done and the hardware ordered, if necessary. I think we need to discuss this off list, preferably in real time with Aaron and Domas. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
