This week I've finished off the script for migrating our current schema, "v0", to our new and improved "v1" schema - with the exception of relationships between entities, which we're still working out. Also did some more work on moving the site to being independent of the web service, so we now have search implemented there as well. As part of that I've been improving the models in the

Here I go! This week I've done some pretty neat things, I finished adding the spotify play button to the review editor in CB, learning a ton the entire time from Gentlecat and others :) Also, I began and finished the MeB Intro to the Foundation and the projects video (On YouTube now!), and learned a lot from Freso, CallerNo6 and others helping on that one! So far, GCi has been awesome, and I'm very happy
We keep getting spammers creating users with links like "buy instagram followers" - but that's kinda ok because they don't affect the data

Obviously if people see them we can get rid of the offending entity / user, but if they're adding the stuff to the actual data, we'll be sending the spam forwards to customers and the like

Upgrading CAPTCHA sounds good in general, but I believe these particular spammers do it manually.

Up to now, we stored them as http, but presented it as scheme-less links on the site
Now Wikimedia switched to https-only, redirecting http requests.

is there a downside to doing that?

Freso is very much on the HTTPS only and everywhere train, so would prefer to store https:// - but I'm not militant enough about to strongly object to storing http:// instead.
