Hi!
Right...where can I go to download the full history
English
Wikipedia dump?
It is being done!
Still doesn't work. And yes, it needs an
executive level decision,
and it
needs a kick in the ass from the board to get the executive level to
make
that decision.
That work is being done at the moment, I'd think that it is being
handled properly. On the other hand, I'm no longer in position of
judging that from above, and can enjoy fully not caring ;-)
How many millions of dollars were left unspent by the
tech team a
couple
years ago?
How many?
It's not resolved. And even if it got resolved
today, that'd still
be three
years too late.
We're how many years late with WYSIWYG? :)
And whose fault is that? The fault of the CTO, which
is in turn the
fault
of the board.
Why are you looking for faults? CTO had to operate under constraints
set by financial management, financial management was done based on
conservative non-profit operation model.
No "rationalization"? I can't say I
understand what you're asking
for. The
dumps will be fixed when *one person* is put in charge of fixing
them, and
when that person has at least several hours a week to dedicate to
the task.
Is that something I don't know? Thats exactly what I was telling to
anyone interested. Thanks for repeating what I said :)
The dumps aren't like encyclopedia articles.
Thats lots and lots of encyclopedia articles!
You can't have a bunch of
people adding little things here and there and expect a working
product, and
it's unrealistic to expect someone to take charge of this sort of
thing for
free, especially in the current economy.
You seem to have entirely failing understanding of motivation
technology volunteers can have.
We have amazing project work done on search by Robert, toolserver
operation by River, do note, how much work on CDN infrastructure that
was done by Mark, or simply all the work done before by Brion and Tim.
Whole our technology infrastructure is built by people who have insane
amount of project-derived motivation. You seem not to notice it. Pity.
On the other hand, it isn't "someone to take charge ... for free", it
is just some work that motivates too much, and Tomasz does great job
at it, even though he doesn't entirely forfeit his social life to have
this move faster :)
