Re: [Labs-l] Separating "content" categorizes from organizational categories

Hoi, I am wondering. What are you querying? It it Wikidata where all the categories of all projects are included or is it something else. Would it make sense to have properties for the categories in Wikidata.. (easy enough). Thanks, GerardM On 15 March 2016 at 08:41, Guilherme Gonçalves

Re: [Labs-l] Yet another partial labs outage

not a big deal to have occasional outage. If your service must be 24/7 it should be on production servers and operation team needs to be trained how to operate it to ensure high availability. If you fail to do that, you can't blame labs people, just yourself. On Sun, May 17, 2015 at 9:53 AM, Gerard

Re: [Labs-l] ToolLabs back up

Hoi, There is no provision for tools that have effectively a production status. Part of the problem is that the set up does not consider this and part of the problem is that staffing does not consider 24*7*7 support. Thanks, GerardM On 4 February 2015 at 20:17, Legoktm
