Comments/Feedback

 * On #9, it might be worth considering whether it could be useful to take advantage of $wgUseInstantCommons (see also InstantCommons), which was one of the really nice things from MediaWiki 1.16. Snowolf 04:18, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi it's Sarah here, I'm back from leave and have reviewed the progress that Tim has nade and i'm really impressed. I can imagine that cut and pasting the final set of URLs into an xls is no big deal. Running a script in Python is another matter however. Is OERF/Jim able to take that part on? Or do we need each partner who wants to do this to locate and get on board some local programmers to do this work? Slambert 04:19, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Sarah, thanks, we used Python because of the low barrier to entry. I believe that Linux systems administrators at universities will be able to run a Python file; speaking from experience getting an IT department to provide much else (node javascript etc) is more difficult. Python is a standard and will run natively in most terminals. I am super happy to give you a demonstration over Skype/screen share in future if you are interested. All the best and welcome back :)
