Hello, perhaps this would be a good moment to transfer Geohack to a regular mediawiki-extension on the main servers.
I hear this was also the plan of brion vibber before he go. Who we need to ask now for this?
I asked Brion on the Paris meeting and he said he'd have a look. But, I didn't hear anything back, so I assume he didn't.
wikimedia.org doesn't list an official CTO, so for the time being, I guess Tim Starling is the person to ask.
Last time I had a long look at the code, the extension part seemed to be in good condition. One half is using it as a special page (just a wrapper around the current code calls), and getting the wiki template from the cache instead of the http rendering.
Compatability might have deteriorated since then, though.
I don't know why but I have no access to geohack-scripts anymore. So I can't do anything.
I'm still travelling, and probably won't have both access and time to work on it until end of next week.
I guess the way to go is to get http://toolserver.org/~geohack/ operational as a stop-gap until someone finally gets around to sign off the extension and install it on the live site.
It seems to work /almost/ correctly. Maybe not all settings were migrated: http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Berlin%C2%B6ms=52_30_2_N...

Hi,
As announced two months ago, we are planning to EOL the stable server in favour of multi-maintainer projects on the normal Toolserver. The following projects are still running on the stable server:
- geohack
- wma
- delinker
We intend to repurpose the hardware currently used for the stable server to provide redundancy database replication, but this can't happen until all projects have migrated off the stable server.
