Hey, that'd be great - the one thing I've told Mel so far is to set it
up to use InnoDB for its database tables, but we'd love any other advice
about how to set this up properly.
Thanks, Toshio and Simon (and Ricky for all your help and patience!) And
a huge +1 to this. Advice and help is awesome.
I assume that once the system is running you still need to generate
content for it? Or do we need to import content/copy a database?
There is no content to import and no database to copy - we'll be
creating and posting all new materials from scratch.
If it's running to your satisfaction on publictest6, (ie, as far
as
you're concerned, if the software there can be run on production and
only content that you write will be added), then it's probably time to
get it into puppet and deployed to the staging environment.
I'm hoping we'll be at this point in a week. (This may be overly
ambitious. We *should* be here in 2 weeks at most.) We need to add in
FAS auth (I'm doing that right now) and then spec out and test a
workflow until we're happy with it (Robyn Bergeron is working on this).
done, mmcgrath will need to talk to you about what kind of load you
expect to see and spend (I believe he thought about a week) making
sure it will handle the number of users we expect to see. And won't
negatively impact other services at the same time.
Ok - is there a good way to get an estimate for load other than "wellll,
maybe something on the order of

(This explanation of what to do and expect is incredibly helpful, btw -
thanks!)
If all of that can be done before two weeks from final freeze, we
should be okay to get this in. Even better would be to get this
running on staging before alpha is released so that we have the full
time between alpha and final to work out any problems.
Ok - beta freeze is September 22, so two weeks before that gives us a
September 8 deadline for absolutely-must-be-done, and an August 25
(Alpha release - next week, whoa!) deadline for ideally-this-will-be-done.
Phew. That's tight. Lemme poke a bit at mapping out specs and a schedule
(and installing fasauth) and I'll be back.
--Mel, who's trying to hand off let's-get-FI-up work as fast as possible
because she's already spent twice as long on marketing stuff this week
as she'd planned.
