[03:31:31] Shouldn't SonarQuebe Bot be doing +1 verified, not +1 Code Review? [16:09:29] Hey! I'm not sure if this is the right place... I was wondering if there is someone with knowledge of virtual private servers [16:49:20] WhisperToMe: hi, for using MediaWiki? Then #mediawiki. Else, perhaps a book about the topic, or an internet tutorial [16:49:59] ok! For using wikipedia, but not sure if it's mediawiki in particular [16:50:02] thanks for the advice! [16:50:13] for using Wikipedia? huh [17:16:49] probably meant VPN [20:49:07] bd808: tx for the link. [20:53:31] I will not chime in that conversation yet. I am waiting feedback on my grant project (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Future-proof_WDQS) [20:58:28] zig: hmmm.. my instinct is that this is a bad grant project unless it is done in close collaboration with the Foundation's Search Platform team. They are the team that owns and operates the WDQS [20:59:35] bd808: I agree. I sent several mail to wikidata and wikidata-tech mailing list so far, no luck. [20:59:58] the wikidata team (confusingly) does not work on WDQS [21:00:33] I should ping the discovery team? [21:00:56] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Search_Platform -- these are the WDQS folks [21:01:13] Baring in mind it's Holiday season, so you might not get replies till the new year :) [21:02:36] I thought they had a job posted to backfill Stas too, but I'm not seeing it at jobs.wikimedia.org [21:02:45] maybe that means they filled it [21:04:22] bd808: My guess is that it requires coordination for both teams. [21:06:07] The Wikidata team does own the dumps generation that is used to recreate the graph from scratch. WDQS was built by Foundation teams (first Nik in MediaWiki Core, then Nik & Stas in Discovery, now ?? in Search Platform). [21:08:13] Scaling the service to keep up with data set size is the current huge challenge for WDQS. Blazegraph does not shard as far as I know and the core set of tuples from Wikidata is getting close to the size of the machines we have to run the service. [21:09:35] WDQS is an awesome project. Nik used to call it "Star Trek sh*t" when he was around an building it, but FOSS graph dbs are 'experimental' tech mostly. :/ [21:37:58] then it is prolly dead. Too bad I was not invited to the party, because I expressed my interest way 6 month ago.
