A decade later and it is still invaluable to understand the architecture and history - most commercial projects don’t have anywhere near this much ‘institutional memory’ to share! Jim Grisham (talk) 08:40, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Shoestring budget?

This article contains the line

This means that MediaWiki must not only run a top-ten website, but also do so on a shoestring budget.

Considering that the Wikimedia Foundation's annual revenue is a 9-digit number, I don't think the budget here is something that most people would describe as "shoestring" 2A10:3781:22AB:1:6B3C:E4CD:B5E3:5D5F 15:01, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
