Hi Tisza, So currently, the journals mainly run within Wikiversity <https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group> (with a proposal to start <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiJournal> a new sister project). It would only be the test wiki <http://wikipediajournal.com/> that would be sensible to run through wikispore to develop new features currently impossible in wikiversity (see technical wishlist <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiJournal/Technical_wishlist>). As far as I know, the current test wiki doesn't have any backups, or monitoring. The domain name isn't really important for the test wiki, since it's just a feature development and testing. The factors that would probably be most useful would be a support community for developing new features, and support and advice on then implementing them on a WMF wiki. Most of the participants in the WikiJournals do not have technical mediawiki knowledge, and are more focused on content creation, so having help on that side of things would be a huge benefit. For example, the test badges <https://wikipediajournal.com/Test_badges> require Common.js <https://wikipediajournal.com/MediaWiki:Common.js> to load external javascript codes. Is there a way to implement these in a way that would satisfy WMF data privacy requirements? . Thomas On Mon, 14 Oct 2019 at 21:58, Tisza Gergő &lt;gtisza(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:

Is setting up a proxy for the API request something trivial or requiring of a dev team? On Fri, 18 Oct 2019 at 10:21, Tisza Gergő &lt;gtisza(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:

Hi Thomas and all, Bumping up this old thread, because I think Wikispore has now progressed to the stage where it makes more sense to try this out now. Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos) On Thu, Oct 24, 2019 at 4:26 AM Tisza Gergő &lt;gtisza(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:
