Given that, I reinstate my plan to being the Referata process. As an example of my worries with the current hosting situation, here are a couple of new observations from the past few days: 1. The clock on AcaWiki is wrong by around 5 minutes. 2. There is a Bugzilla bug saying that AcaWiki is running a version of SMW with known security vulnerabilities (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28661). It is a week old and has generated no interest from people who can fix it (or even anyone in the AW community, for that matter). These are basic issues, and rather than chasing basic issues like these at CC, I would prefer to move somewhere else forthwith and worry about higher-level things. I did receive a private e-mail from Angela Beesley at Wikia encouraging us to host there (which I replied to). I still feel this is unworkable due to Wikia's poor track record of letting wikis go elsewhere (we need to be free to change arbitrarily, since the WMF plan may not work out for whatever reason and circumstances may change arbitrarily). Also, I feel we have sufficient donation power to avoid ads on the pages. However, I'm happy to have this conversation. Reid p.s. I see the CC list is growing and growing - I have no idea whether any of these people are subscribed to the lists, and so I don't feel that I can trim it. I do apologize for duplicate and/or unwanted e-mail, and I'll respect any requests to be removed from the CC list. -- I work for IBM, and sending this e-mail might be part of my job. However, I speak for myself only, not the company. _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
