Was it ever resolved exactly what happened to the website last
weekend? Was there a reason it went for such a long time
without being fixed? Is there a phone number or something
one can use in case the webmaster(s) are not monitoring the
lists?
I know more or less *what* happened (php connections filled up due
to using persistent connections) but not *why*. Also, would it not
be a good idea to have the main page (index.html) be static only,
to prevent things like this happening again? New events and news
items could regenerate a static page as needed, perhaps on
a hourly cron schedule. I see no reason for every access to the
main page to query a news/events database for a dynamic page.
IMO, this is yet another argument to "open-source" the website code:
make it available by CVS, solicit feedback on a mailing list,
and allow people to submit patches.
