Ok, this is an stupid issue, but I find quite curious
that this topic was initially raised by the french
wiki, that so many french people expressed their
dislike of this method, that final conclusion was to
drop the count system, that we indicated in our talk
pages that the count system was changed
just to find oneself totally ridiculous many months
later discovering that *nothing* has changed and that
the old system is still the one working.
Basically here's what happened:
* I saw the silliness, decided to make a change, and announced my plan.
* Some people decided we had to hold a vote first.
* All momentum was destroyed.
* The vote, eventually, turned out pretty much as I had planned to do
anyway.
* The latest working code did end up with the new count system, but was
not at that time installed, having other experimental code.
* Everything was supposed to move to the new server, with the latest code.
* The English wiki got moved to the new server to load test, etc.
* Lee announced we were going to move & upgrade the rest, then vanished
for a few weeks.
* I haven't had time to do it either.
At some point I do want to get everything upgraded at least, but haven't
had a chance to double-check that the CVS version is not currently
broken with experimental code.
(Incidentally, I've been having trouble with my settings for wikitech-l;
I thought I had gotten everything right, but it's still not sending me
mail except for digests. Off to configure again... So, if I haven't
responded to something dreadfully important, please remind me. I may not
have seen it.)
