Anyway I don't need this feature to have shared CSS/JS in my accounts, I already use a small javascript to load them from my userpages on my home wiki, when I need them (basically CSS for international fonts, and a few utilities and corrections or improved features such as for sorting tables or helpers to help exporting data from wiki or formatting it when editing it externally)
My comment was just about the scalability: Meta is very slow compared to Commons. and I'm not conveinced it is setup to scale for millions users when it will be cress referenced by all pages on all wikis, when checking user pages.

I think that the choice of Meta-Wiki for fosting cross-wiki personal CSS
and javascript is not a good choice. All wikis are already linked to Commons that scales far better for all users, rather than Meta-Wiki which is still small and not made for hosting these personal contents for millions users
Commons is for media repository (images, videos, etc) , not for personal contents like global.js/css. Also, Meta is probably chosen for global.js/css storing location because already a number of users (including me) uses global.js/css on Meta, not Commons.
In addition there are far lot more admns and people helping on Commons
than on Meta-Wiki, and there are also some good translations in this multilingual site.
(but maybe developers think that the exploding growth of Commons causes
some long term risks for users as Commons has now difficulties to find backuping mirrors due to its volume)
Now we can expect many more users visiting Meta-Wiki and helping to
develop its content (notably pages about policies, chapters, groups; strategic development; grants...)

Greetings,
The latest tech newsletter is ready for early translation: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2014/35
I'm planning to send the newsletter on Monday morning (UTC), as usual. The existing translations will be posted on the wikis in that language.
This week's issue is very short because I've moved some of the non-urgent items to next week, so that people learn about them when they can actually see the changes and test the new features. It's so short that it took me only 5 minutes to do the French translation :)
I may make a few edits tomorrow (and remove empty sections), but the content should generally remain fairly stable. I'll let you know tomorrow in any case.
Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. As always, I appreciate your help and feedback.
Thanks!
