Hey Magnus,
The Analytics Team will be present at the Amsterdam Hackathon, will you be
there?
Sadly, no, I won't.
One of things I was considering was to setup a new
instance of the code
that is running on stats.grok.se so you can hammer one of our servers and
we wouldn't complain about it.
That would be fantastic! At the moment, my GLAM tool on the toolserver
cannot update anymore, because they refuse to give me enough database
connections for my tools [1]. GLAM people (and my tool users in general)
are not amused.
Running the update tool against a local API, or better, a database, would
make these things much easier and faster. I could even set it up to get
category information from the Wiki(p|m)edia API, so it could run on Labs
even before the DB mirrors are available.
Cheers,
Magnus
