Interestingly enough, I /do/ have a project I'd be happy to put forward that's quite in scope if we'd like to touch on something more system-level than our usual UX fare: there is a serious hole in reasonably self-contained distributed cron-like schedulers in the open source world, and I can see a number of valuable uses for one in Tool Labs (and probably some spots in prod!). I've had that idea at the back of my mind for some time, and I was planning on starting it myself but for the lack of actual free time. This is a very well delineated project of sufficiently modest scope that a small team of students may well be able to tackle succesfully in that kind of timeframe, and it's sufficiently generally useful that it makes for a worthwhile open source project. Thoughts? Is it worth suggesting and putting forward? -- Marc _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
