Hi SJ... I'm currently involved with Deployments of OLPC laptops in India and setting up and managing infrastructure in terms of setting school server. Soon with team here we would be making deployment strategies for various regions across the country for the upcoming deployments arising the need for team wiki access.

Amit, great to have you join us. I don't see your username on the teamwiki; please create an account for yourself there, then I can grant you access. Or let me know what email address to use to create one for you by mail... --Sj talk 01:41, 21 June 2008 (EDT)

Requests for bot status

• Contribot (talk · contribs) - posting new contributors-program projects to the wiki. Requested by chris and ffm.

  Is there a reason for these edits to disappear from Recentchanges? Why else would the contribot need a bot flag? --Sj talk 19:07, 3 March 2008 (EST)

• Mchuabot (talk · contribs) - something of a bot testbed for me; initial functionality will be using pywikipedia-based bot to work with (semantic) forms and templates for collecting/aggregating data from community testing Requested by Mchua.

  In principle this is fine. Please create a userpage for the bot describing what it does and who runs it (even though the name seems self-explanatory now :), and start using the bot without the flag. Note that the flag is only needed once the bot starts to make significant changes in a way that offbalances RC; as long as RC isn't overwhelmed, we don't need any bot flags at all. 18.85.19.210 08:07, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

conditional support -- Sure, but I insist that Mel document the 'domain' files for use with our mediawiki first. Seth 00:14, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
