Thread: News events listing favoring month-long training
I think we need to fix the events listing. Training that spans months stays at the top of the list for much too long. If you look now, two Brazilian training events are displayed, and Linuxworld, and an event listed for the 18th doesn't even show. I am not sure how they are sorted now but it needs to be improved. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

Hmmmm.... maybe displaying some kind of mixture of "soonest and shortest" first (no idea of the right balance) with the long ones in progress at present being listed after them, then the rest after that?

I think the best solution would be to show *all* events that fall within a certain time span, say the next 30 days, and possibly fill that up to show at least 3 or 5. Consider the case where we had one event every day. The current listing would be useless because it would only show the events that are happening right now, which you surely aren't going to because they are already going on. The events that are most interesting for the readers are the ones that they can make plans for, so that would be the coming 4 weeks or so. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/

Seems we should expire news items from the list when the are more than one week past their start date. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
