Event Timeline

About "Project is completed and hosted on Labs/elsewhere - in a demo-able condition", I'm now back in college and within a network proxy. IIRC, based on a discussion with Labs admins and my college student sysadmins, it basically is not possible for me to SSH into my Labs instance.

In addition, the extension is meant for admins (by default, only sysops) to operate, so hosting it as a demo on a public wiki that is in use for some other purpose is a bad idea, generally speaking.

Any suggestions on what could be done?

The idea is to host it on a labs instance for testing purposes. If someone wants an extension for combating spam, they'd like to see what it actually does before putting it up on their wiki, I imagine.

You say there is already a Labs instance. Can we check out how the extension works on that?

Fair enough, and I understand the intention behind asking for a public demo. However, the other issue still remains, which is that I cannot SSH into my Labs instance through my college network's proxy.

@polybuildr, I think I am missing something here. Isn't the instance accessible online? Why exactly do you need to SSH in?

@NiharikaKohli, sorry, I should have clarified: the Labs instance does not have the extension installed. The original purpose of the instance was something else. In order to install the extension (and update it later), I'll need to ssh into the machine, which, as of now, I don't know a way to do.

@polybuildr, alright.

Hi @Yaron_Koren - do you have the rights to access and update the instance?

If not, I can do it, but I'll need to be added as a maintainer to the instance. My wikitech username is Niharika29.

I don't, but the other mentor, @jan , does.
