Hello again
Where can I find the token? I'd like to process some 10 to 1000 articles based on templates that are used in it.
Right now, no token is necessary to use WikiProxy - the "lock" will become active when I update my tools next time. Then, you can get an access token by asking me :)
Note that you will *never* need a token to access WikiProxy locally from the toolserver. The IPs are whitelisted.
Well, I think this means that Stefan's team has to recode a lot. Pulling the titles and texts out of the XML dump is easy but you only get a new dump every 1 or 2 month. On the other hand XML is more robust while the database structure will change with every MediaWiki version - for instance I was not aware of the external text before.
For the analysis of large volumes of texts doing it "live" isn't really an option anyway, I think. And being able to handle XML dumps is a good idea anyway :)
None the less, having the full text available on the tool server *would* be nice. Btw: if that ever happens, I will switch WikiProxy do use the data on the toolserver, so you can keep using it.
What do you mean? The e.V. can support with money and fame but it's pretty unexperienced in setting up mysql servers ;-)
But perhaps they can help coordinating this. All we can do is whine on this mailing list... which has led to nothing so far.
On a slightly related note: we still do not get updates for any data on the Asian cluster (the databases we have are stuck in October).
Sounds like not definite solution before MySQL 5.2.
DaB is trying to get an external replication agent working. I hope this gets finished soon. Maybe someone familiar with the internals of MySQL could give him a hand?
