5/8/13 Team Meeting
Attending:
Morna Findlay, Stuart McFarlane, Alain Forrester, Martin Morrey
Benchmarking information.
Users regularly report poor performance from the wiki but it is not clear what these problems are, if they are sporadic, or what causes them. As the project should be aiming to improve performance compared to the current LIVE service it is essential that we have:
- measures of what acceptable performance is
- examples of poor performance (with as much detail as possible)
- Martin will draw up a test script which will be used by a variety of users. Their reports will be used as a guage of current performance on LIVE.
- Alain will contact the wiki upgrade user group with the test script and collect responses.
- Responses to be collected by 19/8/13
- User group will also be asked to give details (as many as possible) of any performance problems they have encountered.
Communication with wiki space owners
It is important to send out regular communications to keep the upgrade in the minds of the wiki users. However these comms should be lightweight at this stage of the project. We haven't been in touch with the general wiki community since the beginning of July.
- Martin will draft a brief message for users. This will report that upgrade will not take place at or before start of term and that preparatory work ( DEV build) will begin at the end of the month.

Updates to TAD:
