Hm. You say you are following lj_dev, but you seem to be missing
something. First, I am not running any servers, let alone LiveJournal ones, apart from my little development installation which I use only for testing. Hopefully, I'll have a Wikipedia one soon too. Secondly, both MemCacheD and FotoBilder (and S2 as well) were programmed almost entirely by Bradfitz and Avva; I and other volunteers were not invited to participate in the development of it. .<<<<
whoops, i see your posts so often in lj-dev, and your name so much in bugzilla, and since you've had a higher ranking in the bazaar than avva, i kinda assumed you had become part of the core team, and maybe worked for LJ. my bad.
Anyways.. do you see a possibility of memcacheD ever being useful in the wikipedia? obviously at this point it can't really be used because we would need a ton more memory and probably another server, but, would it be practical for the large ammount of text per article, and large ammount of constantly changing articles that wikipedia has? from what I assume, given that there was enough memory available it would do wonders for the article search, woulnt it?
