[Toolserver-l] Extraordinary maintenance this week

2012-01-15 Thread DaB.
Hello all,

Nosy and I will be in Haarlem (NL) this week (thursday and friday) to perform 
hardware-maintenance on the TS; several services or servers will be down 
during the maintaince and there will be no schedular what will be down when. 
We will try to be in the IRC and announce there, but I can not promise that. 
We hope that the TS will be avaiable completly during the night-hours (23-6 
URC), but it can happen that some parts where missing.

Our goal is it the expand the disc-capacity of the TS and add some redudancy. 
Also we will repair some stuff and will do much of documentation.

Sincerly,
DaB.

Re: [Toolserver-l] interwiki.py

yes, there are, although not the cpu-load is the problem but the memory-usage. 
The best solution would be if the mediawiki-devs finaly get rid of interwiki-
links in the article-text of course, but I have the fealing thta will not 
happen soon. The second best solution would be, if the interwiki.py would fix 
their code, but there I have also the fealing that will take some time.

So here is my plan to fix the problem on our (the TS) side:
1.) I create a MMP called interwiki-bot (or something).
2.) YOU (the ts-users) choose (by election, by appointing, by playing "Trip to 
Jerusalem",  I don't care) 5 of you who will become member of that MMP until 
15th February. Only rule: 1 of the 5 has to be an active user of a non-
wikipedia-project (like wikisource or wiktionary or so).
3.) The members of the MMP create a wikimedia-project-account (like "ts-
interwikibot" or something) and request global-bot-status until 1. April.
4.) After 2. April no-one is allowed to run a interwiki-bot except the MMP.

Any problems with my plan?

Sincerly,
DaB.
