Hello, fellow Apiary lovers! Cindy has done a lot of work behind the scenes to get WikiApiary upgraded to 1.39 and we've moved the worker bees back to Wikimedia Cloud Services so that they don't compete for CPU and bandwidth with the website itself. As a result, I've brought wikiapiary.com back online. We'd like to ask for help from other people now. Since a big part of the problem with WikiApiary is database timeouts, Cindy and I are wondering if those of you with experience with SMW and ElasticStore would help think changing the back end from SQLStore to ElasticStore would help. Of course, we would need some help with this. Ideally, some brave soul would volunteer to do the conversion, but, if that isn't possible, a step by step cookbook would be nice. Finally, we think that the site's appearance could use some work. Cindy suggested switching to Chameleon (and has it installed as an option), but there is some general tidying that needs to be done. Have a beautiful day! Mark. -- Mark A. Hershberger NicheWork LLC 717-271-1084

Hello, I recently translated all the translatable pages on the WikiApiary website to Swedish and realised that the software didn't allow me to publish external links. I got around this by simply not adding the needed external link. If anyone could add these external links for me or fix the bug that prevents me from adding external links that'd be appreciated. This affected the pages Main Page, User:Bumble Bee and WikiApiary:About. /Sabelöga

Wikiapiary work in progress

Hi all! As you may have noticed, this past week I put up the "We haven't died..." message on the front page of the wiki. Since Cindy Cicalese had some time to spend on a project, she decided to use it on Wikiapiary. Currently, she's updating MediaWiki and the extensions and running rebuildData.php. Cindy will be joined this coming week by one or more of her WMF coworkers to work on the site. So, rest assured that while the site is down, there are some busy bees behind the scene who are working on bringing the site back to health. Thanks for your patience, Mark. -- http://hexmode.com/ I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
