This issue was raised on the wiki and this mailing list at the end of
November. We were assured then that the problem, apparently also affecting
QRpedia among other things, and action was in hand to resolve this problem
and prevent similar issues in the future.
However, over a month later (albeit with Christmas in the way) there is no
evidence that anything has happened (I have made two edits to the sandbox
today, should anyone wish to do their own testing).
This leads to some questions:
-Is it really the case that there is only a single volunteer who can fix
the wiki?
-If so, how and why has this been allowed to happen?
-What contingency plans does WMUK have in case this volunteer dies or
otherwise becomes permanently (or long term) unvailable, with or without
warning?
-If not, why has the problem not been fixed yet?
In either case:
-What is the timescale for fixing the problems?
-What concrete actions have been undertaken since November to prevent this
happening again?
-What concrete actions are planned to be undertaken in the future to
prevent this happening again (short and long term), and what is the
timescale for them happening?
