Just a follow up to this thread, we've successfully merged 2 patches that now
allow -infra to launch stackalytics.o.o[1][2].  At the moment, we are holding
off on doing so because we'd like to confirm with you the current system
requirements for stackalytics.com.  In my testing I found 8GB not to be enough
RAM for importing the stats and running uwsgi.  We are considering launching a
node with 15GB of RAM however would like to hear back from you first.

Also, do you mind connecting with on of the infra-roots to discuss an upload
location for your current memcached dump?
