If it's done right, you should be able to put various backends on it just like the FileRepo code. Bug 20646 is a good start to something like this I think. Being able to store API urls or database connection info inside a iw_meta field would be awesome for this (and has lots of other applications as well). -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
