Hi,
https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/TS-1599 says inter alia:
| This is not the first time I try to open this ticket at | Jira. The last two times I tried, the message "You are not | authorized to perform this operation. Please try to log in | or sign up for an account. Close this dialog and press | refresh in your browser" appeared and the whole ticket was | gone and I got logged out automatically. wtf? It's really | disappointing that there seems to be no way to restore the | whole story I'd written. :-((
This is still the same issue as reported by Krinkle at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.toolserver/5506 in November. The backlog in JIRA for various other issues in the Toolserver project is quite impressive as well.
So we should add more roots, ideally of course Solaris/Linux bilinguals with 20+ years of HA and MySQL replication expe- rience and lots of spare time on their hands, practically any bright mind who can track down some bug, update the pup- pet configuration and care for all the other tidbits while documenting their work meticulously, so that the roots can focus on the more complicated stuff.
Silke, what are the requirements WMDE imposes on toolserver admins? Being of legal age in their country of citizenship, residence and Germany? Disclosing their identity to WMDE? Anything else?
