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, GerardM

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 :)
