[Translators-l] Ready for early translation: (short) Tech News #35 (2014)

[Philippe Verdy]

Anyway I don't need this feature to have shared CSS/JS in my accounts, I
already use a small javascript to load them from my userpages on my home
wiki, when I need them (basically CSS for international fonts, and a few
utilities and corrections or improved features such as for sorting tables
or helpers to help exporting data from wiki or formatting it when editing
it externally)

My comment was just about the scalability: Meta is very slow compared to
Commons. and I'm not conveinced it is setup to scale for millions users
when it will be cress referenced by all pages on all wikis, when checking
user pages.
