rationalwiki.org was foolish enough to start using the experimental
LQT2. So of course the project was abandoned and we're stuck with a
pile of content in LQT, and it broke in subtle and awful ways when we
upgraded from 1.16 to 1.19.
Symptoms we're seeing:
* The loader gif for the toolbar keeps spinning. (The request actually
completes successfully.)
* CSS and JS load late. (Page looks awful until then.)
* Takes *ages* to load (could be browser, could be server-side) -
enough so that people avoid using it.
One thing I notice is it's quite fat on memory - PHP max_memory was
64MB, LQT was regularly running out of it (is happier at 96MB)
Server: MW 1.19.1 tarball, PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.18 (apache2handler),
MySQL 5.1.63-0ubuntu0.10.04.1, Ubuntu 10.04 on amd64 Linode. Default
skin is Vector.
I realise that LQT2 is unmaintained, LQT3 isn't finished either and
basically we get to keep both pieces. But has anyone beaten LQT2 into
usable condition on 1.19?
Failing that, is there any tool to convert LQT2 discussions into a
format that can be parsed by something that's maintained?
