"Implement" vs. "deploy"
[edit]Ow! This article trod on one of my pet peeves:
- In a continuing effort to deter spam on Wikimedia Foundation projects, the developers implemented the SORBS blocklist last Tuesday.
Matthew Sullivan, the operator of SORBS, implemented it (that is, programmed and built it) some time ago. What the Wikimedia developers did last Tuesday, I suspect, was to deploy SORBS' blocklist (by configuring the MediaWiki software to use it). --FOo 13:13, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
