Fwd: Reasons you use the XML dumps or want to, but can't?

FYI -------- Messaggio inoltrato -------- Oggetto: [Xmldatadumps-l] Your comments needed (long term dumps rewrite?) Data: Thu, 19 Feb 2015 12:30:01 +0200 Mittente: Ariel Glenn WMF <ariel(a)wikimedia.org> A: Xmldatadumps-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org The MediaWiki Core team has opened a discussion about getting more involved in and maybe redoing the dumps infrastructure. A good starting point is to understand how folks use the dumps already or want to use them but can't, and some questions about that are listed here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_MediaWiki_Core_Team/Backlog/Improv… I've added some notes but please go weigh in. Don't be shy about what you do/what you need, this is the time to get it all on the table. Ariel

Orain Wiki Hosting
by Dustin Muniz 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

Hi everyone, I don't know how many people are actually subscribed to this list, or if this will make much of a difference, but I'm one of the founders of Orain, a wikifarm. We're nonprofit, open source, and ad-free. We just recently launched an Indiegogo campaign to help stabilize our resources and stay online, while remaining ad-free and nonprofit. Our campaign is doing fairly well, we're at 35% of our goal, but I was hoping that someone, anyone really, in this list could donate? Even if it's just a dollar, it pushes us that much closer to our goal. Of course, if you have any questions I'd love to answer them. The campaign is here: http://igg.me/at/orain -- Thank You, Dusti Muniz User:Dusti on the English Wikipedia

MITRE's wiki farm
by mah＠nichework.com 25 May '14

25 May '14

At SMWCon last week, Ms. Cicalese introduced the work that they've done at MITRE to set up a farm of MediaWiki installations that they manage for multiple stakeholders. (She also found a problem -- CVE-2014-2853 -- that resulted in a new release of MediaWiki.) I told her about this mailing list and asked her to describe the work she and those she works with at MITRE have done to support their farm. Hopefully, this work will be helpful to others here.

Slow life on the farm
by Mark A. Hershberger 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Life isn't slow on a farm, but this list needs a kick. To that end, I've started a project page on MediaWiki.org: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:WikiFarm Have a look and see what needs to be filled out. With that said, I really want to dig into MediaWiki's configuration system[1]. Putting the configuration in the DB (with a wiki column acting as the key so farming would be easier) really seems to be the right thing to do. Larger users (like Wikimedia) would want to use CDBS or something snappy like that, but I'd like to start out with a DB-backed config. I haven't had time to really do anything with any of this, but I did want to check in with you all to see if there was any news. [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.wikifarm/11 -- Mark A.

How do you dump your wikis?
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 15 Nov '13

15 Nov '13

Question for the wikifarmers, how do you manage dumps of your wikis? (Because you do dump public, free content wikis; don't you.) I saw today Wikia's code (they do a partial on-demand dumping of revisions and nothing else as of now): <https://github.com/Wikia/app/tree/dev/extensions/wikia/WikiFactory/Dumps> Nemo
