Setting up a page in labs isn't too hard, you and jan both have admin access to the `search` project in wikitech. I've gone ahead and booted up a new instance there for you, portal.eqiad.wmflabs. I've also added a proxy for it, http://portal.wmflabs.org.
Quite often the easiest way to set something like this up is to make a git repository, and then have a cronjob on the portal just auto-update the git repository. If you want to go that way i can make you a new repo in gerrit or however you want to do it. For the moment i just copied rutherfordium.eqiad.wmnet:~jgirault/public_html to portal.eqiad.wmflabs:/var/www On Fri, Jan 22, 2016 at 6:52 PM, billinghurst <[email protected]> wrote: > Julien, > > I would like to see some examples that are run for the sister wikis, > at the moment the trend is for the examples to be very wikiPedia > specific.
