Next Monday, February 2nd at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear Tim Lord speaking about
Sifting a Haystack -- The Slashdot Back-End From a Naive User's Point of View Abstract I'll give an overview of the Slashdot editorial process, and demonstrate the back-end tools (all running on Linux, mostly written in Perl, with an increasingly Ajax-based user interface) that we use to organize hundreds of submissions each day to select the handful that we post to the page. I'll also explain some of the software-based methods we use to identify and avoid abusive users, and answer any questions that I can. ================================================================== We meet in Taub building, room 6.
