Hi folks,
Here's a summary of what we discussed in the debian wiki BoF [1] last
week (13th July). Thanks to the awesome efforts of the DebConf video
team, the video of the session is already online [2] in case you
missed it. I've also attached the Gobby notes that were taken during
the session. Again, thanks to the people who took part - we had a very
useful discussion.
Performance bugs
----------------
There was a silly design bug (#668000) in the page save code in
moin that caused a massive slowdown. Every time a page was saved,
the code would have to check config for all the wiki users to see
which user(s) had requested notifications. At its worst, this was
adding up to a minute to the time needed to save pages. We've taken
and adapted a patch originally developed by the Gnome wiki admins to
add a cache here, and it's made a huge difference.
