Shells

I use tcsh, not bash, for a shell script, but I can't seem to run chsh on the server, and tcsh does not seem to be
installed. (csh is, though I'm not sure how compatible that is.)

?

i answered this on IRC, but if anyone else is wondering: requests for change of
shell should be mailed here or to zedler-admins <at>  and an admin will do it.

this did not quite work as expected, and the server is now crashing on startup.
waiting for a reply from MySQL technical support.

okay, this should be working now.  access details are at:

  http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolserver/For_users#database

at some point, the missing old text will be imported from a dump, and
compressed data will be uncompressed.  however, this probably needs to wait
until we have more disk space available.

the replication is real-time, so updates will be available on zedler as soon as
they're made on the live site.  (the only exception is at the moment, since
it's catching up on replication.  this should be finished in a couple of
hours).

User listing

I don't have a toolserver account (yet?), but was purusing /~voj. 
Useful stuff there.

Unfortunately, I don't know what other username paths are valid.  The
front page says it'll eventually list projects; I want something more
expedient.

Can someone with toolserver access just place a list of valid user
names on the front page so that I can at least hack URLs to find
toolmaker gold?

this (the front page) is apparently slightly outdated now.  there's an
incomplete list of projects, and also users, at

  http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolserver/Projects

i suppose, someone must update the front page...

updates

hi,

for those of you who don't follow IRC, here's a summary of recent changes:

- after a few teething problems, database replication should be working; see
    http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolserver/For_users#database

- http://bibliography.wikimedia.de/ - because apper was asking for it

- beland started a list of projects at
    http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Toolserver/Projects
  which you should probably add your own things to.

- akl made a toolserver icon at
    http://tools.wikimedia.de/images/wikimedia-toolserver-button.png
  which you could use to link back to the main page with.

- no news on the progress of adding more disk space...

hmm, i think that's all.

rgds,
kate.
