Other Work edit

Beta cluster / ORES edit

wikitech-l has an announcement about ORES (revision scoring) to be pushed to production. I have asked about the beta cluster and we have a task to which I have made a sale speech: 

 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T127661

I can't reasonably support them. It is a nice project half volunteer driven and with Aaron Halfaker involved for which I have a huge respect. 

It is probably a nice project to step in and help, specially if you are

looking to interact with volunteers.
