I'm not sure this fits here, but I'd like to announce the release of Wikispeed, a simple dashboard based on the RCFeed service. It's pretty much a clone of Wikipulse, which I collaborated with in the past, and was in a way born out of this feature request to convert the gauges to a log scale. Do you think it could be included? --Waldir (talk) 23:20, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

I think it's a bit outside what Tech News is supposed to do, but it's interesting nevertheless, so I'll at least spend some time considering it and not reject it outright. :)
Had it just been my personal newsletter I'd have included it, but given the fact that I ask translators to spend their time on it and then distribute it to a lot of talk pages and community pages who signed up for specific reasons, I attempt to be a bit stricter when it comes to inclusion criteria. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 00:01, 3 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
But if it's not included, I might add it to a few community pages where I feel comfortable doing so with my volunteer account, because I think it deserves to be linked. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 00:02, 3 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
Sure, I perfectly understand :) and thanks for the kind words! I believe it's a good way to showcase what the RCFeed is capable of and how to use it (the code is relatively simple and hopefully well-documented enough), and could therefore inspire other --perhaps more useful-- tools. Let me know if any additional context or information is needed. Cheers! --Waldir (talk) 08:31, 8 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
