Talk:Developers/Maintainers/Archive 1

Idea: add a third column for unreliable domain experts who cannot commit to maintainership. Sharihareswara (WMF) (talk) 18:44, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

The "Operations/systems administration" section needs to be synced with Wikimedia services. In fact, probably that page should redirect to this section so that information is always kept up to date at one place. --Waldir (talk) 16:09, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I've just done so. Most of the info is actually at wikitech:Category:Services (or nagios, if that was usable). --Nemo 16:17, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Uhhh... some of the entries were different. Did you make sure the copy we have here is the most complete and up to date? --Waldir (talk) 04:38, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * It isn't. That page mixed up two very different purposes, listing services and listing maintainers. As I said, the "true" list is at wikitech. --Nemo 12:08, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I reverted your soft redirect. The purpose of Wikimedia services is to list services and their associated maintainers (if any). I'm fine with a (soft) redirect to Developers/Maintainers, iff you merge the content first. But you seem to have made no effort to do so, so entries such as Mingle and status.wikimedia.org got completely dropped. Not cool. --MZMcBride (talk) 08:47, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Do as you wish, I don't care. That page will go rot and I'll soft-redirect it again in a few years, I'm not in a hurry. --Nemo 09:48, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * As long as you rot along with it. ;-) I think it can be soft-redirected now. --MZMcBride (talk) 20:42, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I think I've merged all that needed to be merged, mostly in the first diff. I'm planning to improve the  (which currently doesn't do anything) shortly. Let me know if I've missed something. guillom 11:15, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Done by editing the table and the row template. guillom 12:19, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Wonderful, thanks! I made one slight tweak in this edit. Otherwise, looks great to me. I wonder if the www portals could/should be listed here as well. --MZMcBride (talk) 20:42, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
