Greetings,
I'm hereby asking for a shell account on the servers ("developer status"?). My primary reason for the request is to satisfy my own urge to start looking for possible causes when the wiki decides to hang (especially since there has been a number of occasions when the swedish wikipedia has been unresponsive while others has worked fine). At least it will give me something to do while I'm waiting for it to save my edits. I'm not promising anything besides doing no harm, although I do have some experience in this area.
I'm an administrator on swedish wikipedia, and I seem to have the trust from the other admins. I put out a question[1] about it, and got 4 supportive replys and none vehemently against.
Yours, E23, user page at [2].

I don't know E23, but if others do, I have no objections. I'm just not the right person to ask in this case.
The main requirement for being a developer, is knowing that developer status has *zero* to do with editing, and also knowing enough about Linux/Apache/Php to not do any harm.

E23 (goes by 'snok' in the irc channel) seems to know what stuff is about. He contributed some experimental code for limiting the number of active wiki rendering processes running which although I didn't find it to help in my tests was at least an interesting approach. :)
I've set him up an account on pliny.
