I wonder if we could distribute the process of managing the websites a little more for numpy/scipy, so this didn't bottleneck as much. Furthermore, managing those is the kind of task that can be accomplished by someone who may not feel comfortable touching the numpy C core, and yet it's a *great* way to help the project out. In ipython, we've moved to github-pages hosting for everything, which means that now having a web team is as easy as clicking on the github interface a couple of times, and that's one more task we can get help on from others. In fairness, right now the ipython-web team is the same people as the core, but at least things are in place to accept new hands helping should they become available, without any conflict with core development.

I would personally be in favour of moving as much as we can to github or whatever other place you may think of. The current scipy.org machine bogs down randomly and apache needs a kick almost daily. Whenever I log into the box to restart it - the load is in the 17-20 range. The scipy.org machine is actually an OpenVZ container living on an underpowered (imho) linux box. Hence, I decided to get a large Amazon instance with plenty of memory. At the same time, this is the perfect opportunity for cleanup. If someone is willing to assist me, I have no problems getting more involved into moving things and reorganizing them.

Yup, we've now moved everything but the mailing lists (as you point out next, the load on that box was so awful all the time that trying to use it for anything was nothing but pain). Technically, when we were on scipy our domain was ipython.scipy.org, the ipython.org domain has been from the start hosted outside of the Enthought infrastructure; but that's just a nitpick :) Thanks for tackling the problem of cleaning up all that accumulated cruft, and for the always responsive support you gave us in the past.

It would probably not be a bad idea to update those and point them to github... It's rather confusing having two websites. The official page at http://www.scipy.org/Download points to github. There hasn't been much maintenance effort for new.scipy.org, and there was some recent discussion about taking it offline. I'm not sure if a firm conclusion was reached.

I think (as usual), the problem is that fixing the situation lies on the shoulders of people who are already heavily overburdened.. There is a pull request updating the offending page at https://github.com/scipy/scipy.org-new/pull/1 if any overburdened types feel like merging, building and uploading the revised html.

I certainly understand that problem, as I'm eternally behind on a million things regarding ipython. But the only solution to these problems is delegation, not asking the already overburdened few to work even harder than they already do. I wonder if we could distribute the process of managing the websites a little more for numpy/scipy, so this didn't bottleneck as much. Furthermore, managing those is the kind of task that can be accomplished by someone who may not feel comfortable touching the numpy C core, and yet it's a *great* way to help the project out. In ipython, we've moved to github-pages hosting for everything, which means that now having a web team is as easy as clicking on the github interface a couple of times, and that's one more task we can get help on from others. In fairness, right now the ipython-web team is the same people as the core, but at least things are in place to accept new hands helping should they become available, without any conflict with core development. Just a thought. Cheers, f ___ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
