Hi! Another thing is load testing to know the limitations of the platform. As far as I know there is no public study about SMW capacity. And it's a great topic for students: you have to do load testing in real job quite often. I also think that we will have a lot of mentor for this task that will help to define testing factors/measures. ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote
