It's supposed to be easier to implement than the TPC-W, focus on the application server as opposed to the database, and address other issues with the previous spec. I think one of the biggest complaints was that TPC-W was flawed with respect to being able to (web) cache too much of the data. > >My programming skills are semi-decent, so I could certainly help with a > >bit of tutelage with any Java programming.
