Hi, I have the following on the todo list for the release, more or less in order of priority: a) Expires for the front page (missing so far) b) change links to referenced files to static.o.o (Andreas and Robert are working on that) c) use type-map instead of index.php to choose language variant, d) switch off ETags, which will be useless as long as there are multiple machines, and hurt browser caching I have the following thing which I regard as nothing more than optional, because I don't think we have enough time for it until next week. e) use gzip encoding for the front page stuff, with caching so that it doesn't absorb CPU. After the release, Darix will want to experiment with a PHP bytecode cache, which could give a good boost to PHP, provided it runs stable. It needs careful testing I guess and is something to play with after the release. Having additional machines could help with deploying that. All the above are just my optimization plans, it doesn't encompass other stuff, as enabling editing the front page news, and whatever else needs to be done :-) Peter -- Contact: admin@opensuse.org (a.k.a. ftpadmin@suse.com) #opensuse-mirrors on freenode.net Info: http://en.opensuse.org/Mirror_Infrastructure SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development
