2008-10-21 Thread Geoff Bowers
Folks, It's coming round to the webdu call for papers again. This year I was thinking of trying something a little experimental -- using direct community feedback to help build the agenda. I don't know if its going to work at all, so I was hoping friendly CFAUSSIEs might take a look and see if

I think it wouldn't be too bad, but there might be smarter ways. What about recursively browse the directory once and build a struct, then you can use if structKey exists Regards Dale Fraser From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joel Chia Sent:

I'm running a project at the moment on unfuddle it's pretty nice, and hasn't frustrated me at all in three months. it's only a small team though, and we haven't given the client access so i don't know how the permissions go. asdfnwe On Tue, 2008-10-21 at 01:26 +1100, Steve Onnis wrote: Hey guys

Is there a performance issue ? don't prematurely optimise unless you have to:) how does your app perform with your max expected number of users and directories being checked? file systems are pretty fast these days. jmeter is pretty easy to setup to test this kinda load, there's a quick guide

Steve, I'm entirely not sure of what features you're after but I'd like to throw up the suggestion of something I came across a couple of years ago: SourceForge Enterprise the version I've seen was actually a VMWare appliance (linux O/S as well) you load up on your servers. It's more than an

File system access to see if a file or directory exists is fast. Can't imagine it causing a problem any more than, say, a small loop. Easier than a database query. If you start having performance issues then there could be a whole range of things that can cause problems rather than a
