 bryandamon | Hi examknow: Thanks for reaching out. Right now, things are relatively informal, so by being here, you are functionally a part of the group. Welcome! We have a web meeting the first Friday of every month, the next one is March 1st. You can find out more about upcoming events here:

| bryandamon | Any idea why one wiki's Visual Editor would show the result of a template (WYSIWYG) vs. another just showing a broken template? | 06:24:47 |

| hexmode | https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T216349 I don't have time to work on WikiApiary ATM. I'm posting a message to the site, but if you have cloud access (tgr ?) could you see if something can be done for the DB? | 13:33:53 |
| hexmode | Didn't have time to fix the DB problem on WikiApiary, but I had time to make a great offline message. You should check it out | 14:32:00 |
| hexmode | Why is the best looking (static) html page I've ever made a "sorry, the site is down" page? | 15:33:58 |
| hexmode | (Answer: I'm just someone who copy-pastes beauty into my life.) | 15:36:41 |
| hexmode | tgr: when you say "sync the directory" (for mysql) do you just mean rsync? | 19:49:49 |
| tgr | rsync or just scp, yeah | 19:50:12 |
| hexmode | I can probably do that to the my server that is in colo with a better connection | 19:50:29 |
| tgr | cool, thanks | 19:50:44 |
| hexmode | Well, I'm hoping for effecient sparse file copying | 19:50:50 |
| hexmode | if you know how to do that with scp, I'll try that, but rsync is familiar | 19:51:14 |
