I agree with the above. We should have some path in /branches for these kind of branches, eg. /branches/pastebin. Then I would be easy to grant access there to some non-core users. I would then copy the files and start working with the proposal (however, you don't need a complete rewrite before gathering feedback). _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
