Hi!
But honestly, is there no open source software
that can generate a
thumbnail from a 15MB PNG without nuking our servers?
No.
Well. There's a task to add to my list, then. Might get around to it
as early as 2020, or so ;-)
Yes,
everyone's busy.
Yes, there are more pressing issues (SUL, stable versions, you name
it).
Yes, MediaWiki wasn't developed as a media repository (tell me
about it;-)
Yes, "sofixit" myself.
Still, I ask: is this the best we can do?
Why do you ask, after all these 'yes'?
Because I believe that these areas have been neglected for too long
without proper reason, and I want to rattle everyone's cage about
that.
The things I listed are rather basic things that shouldn't be broken,
IMHO, in such a generally important software in its seventh year of
development.
