Hi,
Christian has tested the wiki setup and found dependencies with the
server hermes. There is a hermes extensio which is broken (probably
since years). It sends out only empty emails.
@Theo: Can you support us? ;-)
Thanks!
Have a nice weekend and best regards,
Sarah

Hello,
yes, I'll grant you access to the system but:
reading the meeting log and minutes, I understand that hermes integration on
wiki is broken, and hermes is deprecated. So my suggestion would be to work on
your testing instance on getting rid of hermes, and create a local notification
system. It is totally not worth to restore this functionality imho.

Yes - at least that's what I've heard.
BTW: Klaas is willing to do some work on hermes if someone tells him
where help is needed. Just FYI in case I heard something wrong or the
decision gets reverted ;-)

That's the easy part - I just need to stop loading the hermes extension.
and create a local notification system. It is totally
not worth to restore this functionality imho.
Handling the notifications using mediawiki's own features is easy (and
probably what people already use). The most important things here are
a) "watching" pages, which means you'll get mail notifications when
someone changes them and b) the RSS feed for Special:Recentchanges.
The interesting question is if someone is still using Hermes to receive
wiki notifications. I'd guess it's unlikely (because it only sends out
nearly-empty mails for wiki changes), but maybe someone still has a
usecase for it.
I'm not too keen on fixing the hermes integration, but I still want to
know if someone uses it - and if yes, it's probably a good idea to tell
those people how to migrate to mediawiki's own notifications.
So the TL;DR version of this mail is: Can you please check if someone is
using hermes notifications for the wiki, and report back?
Regards,
Christian Boltz

Yes I will, but my opinion is that we really don't have to know that
information. What I propose is just to send an announcement when the migration
is over, informing people about the new system and about the new notification
system, and that hermes is not supported/working any more.
I am not trying to avoid doing the work, I'm just stating my opinion here in
order not to gather pointless information. But that's just me, opinions are
always welcome
