Unless there is further discussion to be had on a new
*technical* solution
to Tor users, this is the wrong mailing list to be making these proposals.
At the very least take it to the main wikimedia list, or on-wiki, where
this is a lot more relevant.
Thanks Tyler. I kept the discussion going here because it sounded above
like Derric may already be in the process of doing that and I wanted to keep
a unified voice there.
Although my suggestion is similar in kind to what had already been proposed,
the main object to it was that it would create too much work for our
already constrained resources. The addition of rate limiting is a technical
solution that may or may not be feasible.
The people on this list can best answer that.
