Hi All,
Following up from the blog post about how crawlers impact the operations of the Wikimedia projects and the sessions we had in the Wikimedia Hackathon – Responsible Use of Infrastructure (slides) and the Future of MediaWiki APIs (slides), I wanted to share a blog post that Halley Coplin (our product manager for the APIs) just published:
The blog post summarizes many of the points discussed at the Hackathon and touches on the conversations we’ve had with the API listening tour earlier this year. Many thanks to Halley for all her work on this, and to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts, ideas and pain point stories at the listening tour and at the Hackathon <3
If you have additional input on the APIs, feel welcome to use the talk page of the listening tour summary to comment & get in touch!
