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.
