Hi all
I'm happy to let you know that new hardware has been ordered by Wikimedia
Deutschland and will arrive probably in about two weeks. We will get two new
systems:
* A more powerful web server, to replace hemlock: Sun Fire X4150, 2x Quad-Core
Xeon, 8GB RAM, 2x73GB SAS HDD. The current web server only has two cores.
* Another database server, to be used for S1 (english wikipedia), so S1 and S3
no longer have to share a server: Sun Fire X4250, 2x Quad-Core Xeon, 32GB RAM,
16x146GB SAS RAID.
This should improve performance and give us some head space for growth. Once the
new servers arrive, S3 will be re-imported too, so we will have live data again.
Any ideas for names? To stay with the nightshade theme, how about Jurubeba and
Erubia? Or perhaps we go the "witches' weed" way, with Datura and Mandrake?
Henbane is taken, i think. Amanita sounds nice, too :)
A third server has been ordered, which will also be installed in Amsterdam, but
will not be part of the toolserver cluster. It's a storage server (X4540, 24TB
RAID) that will keep a live backup of all media files.
Cheers,
Daniel
(I tried to post this question before but was not properly registered for
the mailing list. If this is a repeat I apologize.)
I am in need of some guidance on how to get some data out of the query
service. I signed up for an account, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to
create an "issue" or if there is some other process I should follow. I'm
also not sure if the query service is right way to go about this.
In short, as part of a graduate research project, I need to select about 100
articles in Wikipedia, find the most frequent editors (there is a
"contributors" tool which ranks them) such as those with more than 10 edits
to the article and then for each of these editors generate a list of all
pages they have edited with a frequency count for each.
Does this sound like the query service is the right way to go about
collecting this data and if so can someone point me to the proper procedure
for making such a request?
Thanks.

Hi,
Perl 5.14.0-RC1 is now installed as /usr/bin/perl5.14. 5.14 will
eventually become the default version of Perl; you may want to test your
Perl programs with it before then.
This is a pre-release version of Perl, so it may contain more bugs than
usual. Please report any issues in JIRA.

Exactly how resource-intensitive would be a bunch of queries that got the
editcount from every wiki that you find in toolserver.wiki (821 of them).
Basically it'll be a PHP code, which cycles through all the rows in
toolserver.wiki, then connects to each server/db in turn (Ill ORDER BY
server so I don't have to connect-disconnect every time), and runs
SELECT user_editcount,user_registration FROM mw_user WHERE user_name="foo";

Hello Everyone,

$HOME/UAA.out $HOME/UAA/UAA.py
Your job 314397 ("UAA.py") has been submitted
UAA.out says:
newtask: exec of /sge62/default/spool/yarrow/job_scripts/314397 failed: No
such file or directory
. My files are set for CHMOD 774
. They all exist
. It always returns the error
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
The ts-admins contact address is now PGP-enabled. This means all mail
coming this from address will be signed, and if you send encrypted
email, you will receive encrypted email in reply. Notifications to
admins are also encrypted, and the ticket system's web interface is
accessed via SSL, so your mail should never be sent over the Internet in
plaintext.
However, mail is stored unencrypted in the database, so this is not
secure if the ticket system itself is compromised.
For this to work, your key needs to be available from the PGP keyserver
network (the ticket system uses wwwkeys.uk.pgp.net).
The key ID for ts-admins is:
pub 4096R/E04DCDD7 2011-04-13 [expires: 2012-04-12]
Key fingerprint = 5A5E 8634 DD8E DB05 F36E 3969 7035 1043 E04D CDD7
uid Wikimedia Toolserver ticket system <accounts(a)toolserver.org>
uid Wikimedia Toolserver ticket system <ts-admins(a)toolserver.org>
... which is available from wwwkeys, and is also listed at
<https://fingerprints.toolserver.org>.

Hello.
http://toolserver.org/~kalan is redirected to Russian Wikipedia article «Хуй (значения)». This is very incorrect redirect («Хуй» («Khuy») in Russian mean obscene word, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat_(Russian_profanity) ) and in fact a vandalism: this toolserver account contains statistics about Arbcom elections (example: http://toolserver.org/~kalan/arb10/), and this redirect mean «russian arbitrators is khuy».
Owner of this Tollserver account does not respond to abuse reports in-wiki.
Please delete redirect and replace it with standard TOC or blank page.
