As some of you might know I'm thinking about giving a very informal talk
to ACM's SIGLinux about Deja News. I'm going to troll for ideas now...
what would you like to hear about?
I assume I'll spend a (short) time talking about our use of Linux.
Maybe that will be all the time we have, but I doubt it. I'm sure I'll
have some advice, too; I just graduated from UT Austin's CS program
myself in 1995, and frankly I'd like to give you some of the info/advice
I wish that I have been given. I hope for it to be shocking and
nontraditional.
Here's a short list of DN topics I thought might be interesting,
but if you want to hear something else my feelings won't be hurt:
1. web robots
2. banners and the advertising business
3. thoughts on how to design/organize/grow a large (100+ host) site
4. failure modes (war stories), thoughts on reliability
5. web-site user behavior (including user feedback)
6. program architecting/design tips
7. performance tradeoffs
8. how do you measure success?
