It needs to be really easy for any developer to throw up a new data |
| 24 |
source w/ scripts onto the API site. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Even qa-reports is somewhat stalled, and doesn't have good visibility, |
| 27 |
because it's not that easy for any dev to add something new to it. |

See my other comment about git-mediawiki maybe, that would satisfy my |
| 36 |
needs, just having old versions of the images around as needed (not |
| 37 |
admin-deletable). |

I need to dust off the project hosting proposal, because there are a lot |
| 47 |
of files that need to move to it (like all the elections & PR |
| 48 |
materials). |
