PROBLEM: Thumbnails are taking up a lot of disk space. SOLUTION: Completely revamp image syntax in a backwards-incompatible manner. There's something excessive there ... Is it really the case that the server can't get atime of the images? iIf it can, then we *know* which thumbs may as well be trashed and regenerated as and when someone cares. If it can't, why not? - d. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
