The Problem:  H2G2 server is old, stressed and overloaded.

Good Things

The good news is that we can fix the site.

 

We can make the pages load fast and reliably.

 

And we can take the load off the editor. So fewer crashes.

 

And crashes won't slow down the site.

The Fix:  we insert a cache and cut the link to the server!

The Problem

  • Regular crashes
  • Slow unreliable site
  • Impossibly old software
  • High support Demands
  • Can't make improvements

The Fix

  • Same tools
  • Introduce cache
  • Bullet Proof Proof Public Site
  • Manual Process for publishing new content!

Manual Solution:  authors list new urls and these are manually updated

The Future:  small experiments with new authors and communities
