I'd say the added worries about security and access approval are a "problem" partially bundled up with that, even if they can be worked around. Logistically it would be nice to have a means of providing an exclusively public data replica for purposes such as research, though I can certainly see how that could get technically messy. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
