Hoi,
The current PDF support is broken. It does not support all the languages we
support. I do not see that this an explicit requirement.
Thanks,

Hey,
For the new renderer backend for the Collections Extension we've come up
with a tentative architecture that we would like operations buy in on. The
living document is here [1]. It's worth saying explicitly that whatever
setup we use must be able to handle the greater than 150k requests a day we
serve using the old setup.
Basically we're looking at having
* 'render servers' run node.js
* doing job management in Redis
* rendering content using PhantomJS and/or Latex
* storing rendered files locally on the render servers (and streaming the
rendered results through MediaWiki -- this is how it's done now as well).
* having a garbage collector run routinely on the render servers to cleanup
old stale content
Post comments to the talk page please :)
