Glen Mazza commented on ROL-1982:
---------------------------------
If you can focus on ROL-1981 first (at least getting us to the flat table),
that would be great for the team, it might take me several days to review all
the changes before I can commit it, giving you all the time you'd like to
enhance ROL-1982.
If someone has 100's of blog entries that could be quite a resource hog for a
blog server that might need to manage many blogs, I might be inclined to lift
it to about 200-300 or so (whatever the team thinks), that would take care of
most users while not burdening the Roller server due to chatty bloggers who
just blog one-sentence daily blogs about winning lottery numbers, their running
times, or their weight each day. Even at my bloggiest before deleting many old
blog articles, I reached 267 blog articles before moving back to a more
manageable 100-150 articles.
Another issue is that even if we allowed loading of several hundred or thousand
blog articles, the page load response time would be so long that the blogger
may not want that anyway. For example, former Roller user (while he was at
Oracle) Arun Gupta not only had 1400 blog entries
(https://blogs.oracle.com/arungupta/entry/so_long_oracle), he easily had 1000's
of blog readers each day, not just those wanting to read his blog directly but
Googlers taken to his many articles. If we had to dynamically generate that
huge tree view for each of his readers that would be quite a resource demand on
the Roller server, risking out-of-memory errors (then again, servlet containers
do some caching so maybe that's less of a concern.)
I think archive tree views are most useful for technical evangelists who need
to show their bosses (who may not really care about or understand the blog
contents) that they're blogging lots and lots for their company, so, yes,
displaying number counts would be very good.

> A macro that would provide the data of the Archives in Tree Structure
> something like [1]. I think it would be a nice enhancement to Roller, as
> Archive Pages are rarely used and this macro can be easily added to the Side
> menu of the blog.
