... Wikimedia Eesti doesn't directly control any nameservers (however we control many DNS records of domains through two hosting providers we use, Zone.eu as one of them) and there is no standard service available we could use to do it (our current providers don't offer such a service AFAIK).

Slaporte added a comment to T95129: Publish Wikimedia's WordPress blog theme in Git.

Just to clarify the current status, the only thing missing here is an explicit license on the published code. https://wordpress.org/news/2009/07/themes-are-gpl-too/ makes it clear that the PHP parts of WordPress themes must be GPL. The only thing we still need WMF-Legal clarification on is the license status of the images and JS/CSS parts of the theme, so adding the appropriate tags. I would hope based on https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/getting-started/wordpress-licensing-the-gpl/#do-i-need-to-license-my-themes-under-the-gpl that the rest of the theme is also GPL.

Yes, that is what happened - yesterday @Slaporte and I sat down a bit to look into this. He managed to retrieve the instructions he had received from @ZhouZ way back when this was handed over, including the exact crontab data with which we restored the job. @Slaporte was going to post an update here but I think wanted to wait until after the first successful run (which has now occurred), sorry that we ended up duplicating some work on this.

Slaporte added a comment to T174528: Tool for displaying a user contribution summary.

One challenge is figuring out how and why people would visit this page. Is it a resume/personal page that users would promote about themselves? A tool for people to research other Wikipedians? Is it a proof of concept for a user page replacement?

A resume/showcase, yes. There are benefits to having that integrated with MediaWiki (branding, mainly), but in the short term outweighted by the drawbacks, IMO. The Toolforge is ideal for experimentation, a MediaWiki extension is not - the required investment for making the feature available to anyone at all is too large. Even if the end goal were to include it, building popularity as a Toolforge tool and porting later if it does turn out to be popular is a better approach.

Slaporte added a comment to T174528: Tool for displaying a user contribution summary.

I would love something like github's contribution graph.

Someone actually did that (the chart part) at the data design challenge, but it seems the projects weren't published anywhere. Maybe @Slaporte has more details.

Our current usage is within the 'Hobby Project (free)' bucket, so at this time, there will be no charge for the usage of the data.

What happens if our traffic exceeds their expectations?
