We're also aware that this has taken a very long time, and that that sucks. I don't mean to be rude, but yet another post pointing out how useful a music module would be is not very useful or productive.

The DoS issue that exists (existed?) with the LilyPond extension is in a different ballpark, though: if attackers can make the servers grind to a halt by providing LilyPond with input specially crafted to take a huge amount of time/memory/both to process, it doesn't matter which wiki that input comes from; the size of the wiki is irrelevant here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
