What can we do about this? We don't run that site.

I looked at the site and saw:

"Erik Zachte's Wikipedia / Wikimedia Portfolio
Wikipedian since 2002. Data Analyst at Wikimedia Foundation since 2008. "

and thought Erik might be able to comment on what we / he / WMF might do to make it work. It did have some value and would be nice to see working. At present we have no idea what is stopping it from working....??????

Aklapper claimed this task.

Please feel encouraged to contact the owner of infodisiac.com (which is not the Wikimedia Foundation) - at the bottom there is an email address. Thanks.

Are you saying the ezachte that is a subscriber to this entry is a different person to Erik Zachte who owns the website????

Or, Are you saying the WMF and Erik are no longer associated?

Or, What?

Doesn't matter whether he is associated with WMF or not, that is an external site.

Is this not https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/ANWS/browse/master/mail-lists/ ?
My guess is that it was a change on the WMF side which prevents the crawling from working after July.

I just learned the scripts had stalled for half a year from this thread.

Yesterday I started to migrate these scripts from private server to WMF server stat1002 and will publish soon from stats.wikimedia.org.
