Red-tailed tropicbird: WUaS-donated-into-Wikidata's website is unusually temporarily unavailable today, WUaS is also greatly in need of beginning to develop our IT platforms for Universities in 204 countries (per the 2008 Olympics) in their main languages, and in all 7,097 / 7,943 languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning re WUaS's IT plan - for high school students in their homes applying this autumn (and their parents), Playlists as one way of further planning to develop WUaS in Wikidata (accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC, for planning purposes), How can WUaS further plan for interactive Google group video Hangouts with graduate student instructors to rock (flourish) learning-wise re the conference method and interactive conversation?, WUaS - http://worlduniversityandschool.org - was working again in the evening after I confirmed WUaS's host's security questions, I think, in an email exchange


Hi Ryan, Jan and Lydia, 

Thanks for your emails of Jan 8, JanZ, and Jan 26, Ryan (in the "WUaS in Wikidata" thread). 

WUaS-donated-into-Wikidata's website - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - is unusually temporarily unavailable today with a similar message from the host below about security as before in January - "Sorry, sorry this site is temporarily unavailable". I'm contacting you Ryan since you helped install the English language WUaS in MediaWiki - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_En_Wiki - and you JanZ since you helped install the German language WUaS in MediaWiki - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/WUaS_De_Wiki (both over January 4,5,6 at the Wikimedia Developers' conference in SF - thank you!) because you both know MediaWiki and Wikidata, and I don't. 

As a FYI, I've emailed the WMF Director of Architecture Rob Lanphier, the WMF Legal Director Michelle Paulson and outgoing WMF Executive Director Lila Tretikov about related WUaS and MediaWiki/Wikidata questions, among others, and have only heard back from Michelle that "Unfortunately, I can't really help you here. The questions you asked aren't really in my field." 

I'm emailing you, Ryan, JanZ and Lydia again - since WUaS donated WUaS to Wikidata in October 2015 so WUaS is in many ways not private but part of Wikidata and thus public too - per your observations, JanZ, of Jan 8 2016 - 

"Please in the future ask on one of the public MediaWiki help fora, see https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_hub . Sadly private support doesn't scale. Also other people might have the same problem and thus will benefit from the same answer.

The email from gate.com IMHO doesn't show any abusive behaviour. The listed files in question are normally created by Mediawiki as a cache to reduce resource usage of multiple requests. My advice is to ask them to explain why that behaviour is considered abuse." 

I've also posted a request for help in this #mediawiki IRC per your suggestion, JanZ. 

Unfortunately, I also don't have the coding skills to troubleshoot this ongoing issue.

And WUaS is also greatly in need of beginning to develop our IT  platforms for Universities in 204 countries (per the 2008 Olympics) in their main languages and schools in all 7,097 / 7,943 languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning re WUaS's IT plan - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/02/rosa-californica-berkeley-law-new.html - for developing in 3 main platforms, and I'm writing also to ask if you could both please together, for planning purposes, become the Directors of Architecture for this - with WUaS now donated to Wikidata?

Thank you, Scott

Playlists as one way of further planning to develop WUaS in Wikidata (accrediting on CC MIT OCWin 7 languages and CC Yale OYC, for planning purposes)?

How can WUaS further plan for interactive Google group video Hangouts with graduate student instructors to rock (flourish) learning-wise re the conference method and interactive conversation?
