It's why we didn't go with a lottery for AFT5 the first time around. Back then, I played around with detection in the javascript (AFT5 looking for AFT4), and I had some success, but if I recall correctly, there's no way to guarantee module loading order. If you know of a way to make AFT5 load second, we could try that out. Another option might be to move the decision into successive hooks (e.g., one uses the earlier hook for a lottery, and the other uses the later hook to see what happened). I can try something out for that as well, depending on how much time I have in between other features and fixes. -Reha ___________________________________________ On Jun 15, 2012, at 12:27 PM, Fabrice Florin wrote: Thanks, Reha, much appreciated! Roan, what do you think about Reha's ideas below? If none of these solutions are practical to implement on Monday for pre-deployment on Tuesday, Yoni also proposed a simpler solution, which would be to stick to the original plan of adding 320k articles to the Article Feedback 5 category, but doing it with a DB update script on the back-end, which might make the change less visible to the community. Might this be a more practical option? I am deeply aware that we are running out of time and that neither solution is perfect. So we may have to pick the solution which is most practical, even if it is not ideal. Thanks for any suggestions you might have on this important issue.
