Forum OpenACS Q&A: Monitoring of installations

Collapse
Posted by Malte Sussdorff on
Talking to a couple of people the idea was raised to monitor OACS
installations with some benchmarks. The idea is, once you installed
your system you can opt-in to participate in the benchmarking
programm. Once you agree some figures about your site (e.g. how many
users, how many objects, other interesting statistics) would be
reported on a weekly basis to openacs.org where we would agregate the
date and show how cool OACS is in the wide open.

What do you think ?

I know some find benchmarking controversial because direct comparisons are difficult. Still, I think benchmarking is a valuable tool for showing (and verifying) how "robust" the system is. There should be magnitudes of difference to other systems.

As soon as I get a site up (converted over), I'll participate --probably fall/winter.
