CC @Alexia. Could you tell us if there are plans to open source the extension code?

Yes, it is on my list to make open source. I am not entirely sure it will be usable in its current state due it being a memory hog. My 20% time is on Fridays so I will look at this tomorrow and sanitize any strings that might be considered proprietary before pushing it up to GitHub.

Thanks! :)

Now open sourced:
https://github.com/HydraWiki/GlobalWatchlist

Along with its requirements:
https://github.com/HydraWiki/RedisCache
https://github.com/HydraWiki/SyncService

As if there is no way to drop it into a standard farm setup and make it work without at least a few code changes. I have noted these in the README.md file. It is a three day holiday weekend here so I plan to take some time to improve the public documentation.

The develop branch contains several untested fixes that should make it easier to run it outside the Hydra Wiki Platform.

• Switched to CentralIdLookup factory.
• Renamed $dsSiteKey to $wgSiteKey - This will have to be defined per site configuration.
• Database schema updates will run if the site being updated has $wgSiteKey set to 'master'.

@Alexia: Thanks!
