Nick,
My apologies for not responding sooner. I've picked up this ticket
since Donald has left, and we've been extremely busy. Part of your
request for wikipedia was pending infrastructure upgrades on our end to
handle the load. We have web and database server improvements in place,
so I'd like to open things up again.
We had talked about a wikipedia mirror, and I'm curious what that would
mean in terms of storage requirements and traffic. Would you offer
"mirror" links throughout the site?
Since we have more system resources to offer, is there any interest in
having ibiblio host all of wikipedia.org?
Many thanks,
-John R.
I will forward this on to our technical mailing list. At this point, we
aren't looking to move everything to
ibiblio.org, but I believe we are
still interested in a read-only copy that forwards "edits" to
wikipedia.org. But, I am not the final arbiter, so I shall see what our
consensus is. Thanks again, John!
