You guys are the only reason the interface still
exists :) DBpedia is
the only (regular) external user (LuceneSearch is the only internal
user). Note that there's nobody really maintaining this interface, so
finding an alternative would be great. Or deciding we (or more
precisely, the Wikimedia FOundation - there's not much the Wikidata
team can do there) really want to support OAI in the future, and then
overhaul the implementation. -- daniel
Actually, we asked quite often about where to change to and what would
be the best way for us to create a live mirror. We just never received
an answer...
We were afraid to pound the Wikipedia API with 150k request per day
(this is the number of edits on some days), because we were afraid of
getting IP-blocked. Also there was no official clearance that we may do so.
If you are telling us now that IRC is no good, what other way is there
to create a live in sync mirror?
