Hi,

There's been some previous discussion about this and similar ideas on the list:

* https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-November/084143.html * https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2016-November/087079.html

My personal view is that such proposals usually aren't worth it (I haven't looked at yours specifically so this might not apply to you) because: * Most users expect very quick cache invalidation times (e.g. on the order of seconds) * Uncached views are generally cheap (From the server perspective), so the benefits aren't that much.

Hello,

I was directed to this list by Charles M. Roslof (Wikimedia Foundation Legal Counsel) he asked me to remove all wikipedia branding from " https://www.WikipediaP2P.org/", so I did, and it is now renamed " https://guerrerocarlos.github.io/WikiP2P.org/"

He told me this would be the right place to propose what the extension does and see if it can be useful to wikipedia in any way.

I believe that the "WikiP2P" extension has a lot of potential to help wikipedia be more bandwidth efficient for people with limited access to Internet.

So I invite you to check any of those links it and tell me if this is really the right list.

Thanks in advance for your time and dedication.

Best Regards

• Carlos
