Hi
I'm the author of
http://cassini.toolserver.org/~mazder/multilingual-country-list/, which
is afaik the first public tool on the new wikimedia toolserver. It's
really great to have those ressources that enables me to work with the
dataset of a complete planet -- this is sth. i couldn't do anywhere else.
But atm. the possibilities for new projects on cassini are not that
good, because what we have now is an outdated a snapshot of the world.
This is not enough for most interactive tools.
So what are the next steps?
Tim Alder said he'd like to wait for the main db-server (ptolemy) to set
up regular updates. Aude said thst the postgres-db on cassini needs some
changes configuration, including a better way of authentication. He also
filed a jira-ticket about getting sudo-access on cassini. [1]
So for now to me the main question is: when
will we get access to the main-db server.
If this will be the case soon, we could skip all work on cassini and do
it directly on the main-db.
When we exclude the postgres-setup, in my eyes cassini is already
finished and the next logical step would be getting the production
rendering online.
I'm new to this whole organizational stuff but I think i'm getting used
to it slowly :) So if i missed something important, please be gentle.
Peter
