I'll admit - I'm intrigued by the notion of carbon footprint reduction via
software enhancements.. :)
I appreciate that you've concisely provided background on the what and how.
I'm curious if you can expand a tad more on the why. To many the notion of
energy conservation is very familiar - but in all fairness - I've suggested to
others that they not assume everyone will know as much as they do - so a bit
more info there wouldn't hurt.
The title "Green SMW" should not lead to wrong expectations. The goal of
this project is to address a number of long-standing performance issues
in various components. The tasks are based on concrete problem reports
we got from various SMW users. Is this what you mean with the "why"? The
goal is to take a more general perspective in "Green SMW" and to not
optimize for one use-case only, but to address known architectural
weaknesses that are causing these issues.
You've been in IRC actively - so you're aware of that resource.
Same comment to SMW folks as Flickr folks - contemplate each other's proposals
and be mindful of any overlap and the stated criteria like quality of apps,
etc. Might not be a bad idea to see what others are proposing. :)
I am not sure I know what you are referring to. I don't see
Flickr-related projects that are similar to this project. We should of
course be careful with overlaps, but I cannot see any issue there right
now. Or maybe you meant something else?

Hi,
I am participating in GSOC'12 with my proposal for Green SMW [1].
This proposal is about reducing the carbon footprint of SMW , in other
words it will enhance the performance of SMW significantly.
All the details are on [1], suggestions to improve or comments are most
welcome.
I have also been contributing to MW with my new Extension:AllTimeZones [2],
comments to that are welcomed as well.
My other contributions to MW are listed here [3].
