And Flow is quite complete for most use cases, and its team is mostly working on adding support for various crazy workflows user communities have created in more than 10 years without a good discussion system.

I've installed it via cygwin (I'm running Windows 7 64 bit). I even directed MediaWiki (via $wgSVGConverterPath = 'C:\cygwin64\usr\include\librsvg-2.0\librsvg';) towards the directory where it is installed. Any other ideas?

The message of the above linked commit is > Made ActiveUsers use querycache and do staggered updates on view Is this what "staggered updates" are supposed to do? Does the cached page age really depend on how frequently it is loaded by users? This would explain why the age is over 29 days for small wikis, while large wikis serve ~1day old page.
