PS: Still no bigsite/performance forum. Have we decided that Drupal doesn't *need* to scale? I missed that meeting.
That's somewhat harsh. Isn't making Drupal scale developer- specific and suitable for development@drupal.org?
Mailing lists suck when searching for solutions...hence the public facing "Performance and Scalability" forum. We'll continue to have requests for ever more micro "groups", for which forums are the only bucket we have today.
On http://drupal.org/forum, should that go under 'General', 'Support' or 'Development'? Care to provide a one-line subscription?
Development (since generally high-traffic sites will have more technically savvy maintainers) I assume you meant description. How's this? -- Performance and Scalability: A forum for high-traffic site maintainers to discuss tips and techniques, as well as to discuss any development changes that are needed. -- Aside: tools that work for a small site won't work for sites with high numbers of users/content/etc. -- so likely this would be an appropriate spot for related issues.
I'm OK with making more forums but we should put some effort in the performance and scalability of the forum module (irony?), as well as in a subscription module.
I think we'll see some good work around subscription in the next little while. -- Boris Mann Vancouver 778-896-2747 San Francisco 415-367-3595 SKYPE borismann http://www.bryght.com
