[16:47] <underscor> [12:41:12 PM EDT] Alexis Rossi: yeah, let's get it. go ahead and talk to whoever you need to for resources
[16:47] <underscor> (collections manager at IA :))
[17:34] <Nemo_bis> underscor, for the rsync mirror? :-O
[18:05] <underscor> no, not rsync
[18:05] <underscor> :(
[18:05] <underscor> unfortunately
[18:06] <underscor> Well, not public rsync
[18:06] <underscor> I'm thinking about writing a fuse module that emulates a fs though
[18:06] <underscor> iunno, still thinking
[18:45] <Nemo_bis> ok
[18:48] <Nemo_bis> underscor, emijrp wanted daily items
[18:48] <Nemo_bis> would that use the usual items infrastracture?
[18:49] <Nemo_bis> it could be one tar per item per day
[18:49] <Nemo_bis> you download everything and then tar or fetch all files of a single day and tar, repeat; dunno
[18:50] <Nemo_bis> if it's not too complex, that's your job to find out :p
[19:01] <underscor> \o/
[19:01] <underscor> I guess I should probably talk to him
[19:04] <Nemo_bis> underscor, http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/xmldatadumps-l/2012-April/000453.html
[19:04] * Nemo_bis twistles
[19:05] <Nemo_bis> *whistles
[19:23] <underscor> Oh, excellent.
[19:23] <underscor> Should I send him an email from my archive.org address, or do you think that's not helpful?
[19:23] <underscor> I take it you gave him my name, Nemo_bis? :)
[19:24] <Nemo_bis> yes
[19:24] <Nemo_bis> you should be contacted by someone in IA if I got it correctly
[19:24] <Nemo_bis> or anyway they'll let Ariel know as soon as you have a plan
[19:25] <underscor> well, I already talked to collections manager, so she's probably his contact
[19:25] <Nemo_bis> dunno
[19:26] <underscor> yeah
[19:26] <underscor> hmm, should subscribe to this list
[19:38] <underscor> Nemo_bis: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/xmldatadumps-l/2012-April/000454.html
[19:38] <underscor> :V
[19:39] <Nemo_bis> :)
[19:40] <Nemo_bis> underscor, this is the right way to reply to a thread you don't have a copy of: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists#Using_digests
[19:40] <Nemo_bis> :p
[19:40] <underscor> Oops
[19:41] <underscor> :(
[19:41] <underscor> I don't think gmail will even let me do that
[19:42] <Nemo_bis> hm, it should; anyway many clients will thread correctly anyway
