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

*
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/"quot;, 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
