Hi!
​Running Parsoid as a public service (with some
soft-ish API limits) would
allow us to support the oft-cited user who has a dumb PHP-only box and no
means to install a node service, so that has my support; however, I worry
that WMF might not be the best organisation to provide this if people
wanted it at large for commercial use.
I think the prospect of having
publicly-accessible services like Parsoid
useable by smaller wiki installer is very cool and exciting. Thought it
does not solve all cases - i.e. for inter-company wiki (which I
personally used extensively as a medium for capturing internal docs,
discussions, plans, etc.) there may be legal and confidentiality reasons
that do not allow using services crossing the firewall.
Companies running internal
wikis naturally aren't using shared hosting.
They would probably be better served with alternative setups that make
it easy to setup and run the services locally.
Something for things like Vagrant, Docker, Turnkey, etc...
