Anything else that we can disconnect ? Perhaps
wikipedia could be made read only 12 hours a day,
and
write the other twelve.
Bad day for wikipedia - the first suggestion to make
a wiki (partially)
read-only
:-(
Well, it is not the first time I hear from it. Some
french speaking suggested a read-only mirror to
relieve the server. I just know that even if what had
a very strong surge in hits the past month, we also
had a drop in new contributors.
Perhaps one should reconsider setting the national
wikipedias free meaning to encourage them to find a
> host in their country.
But what is "their" country for the french wikipedia ?
That would at least give
them some space for growth. The performance issue is
going on for too long now and I for one stopped
editing wikipedia because it is too frustrating at >
the moment.
Yes. I understand.
Does anyone has an idea why most wikipedias seem to
have doubled the number of visits and requests in
september compared to august (well, at least, I
checked the 4 bigger ones)
