Looks interesting. ;) Some things to note: * This is a Django app. We have had Django apps before in infrastructure (transifex, reviewboard) and they have done fine with load balancing/etc. I hope this one will too. ;) * This app looks like it would be pretty self contained. Ie, we could have it using it's own database, etc. Some questions (which may not be known yet, but I thought I would toss them out there): * If FAS is unavailable, how does askbot behave? No one can auth? or falls back on a local file? or ? * Do we have any idea how much load/capacity this will take? I guess it will depend on how much it takes off and how much people use it. Are posts/answers stored in db? Or on the filesystem? * Will there be any guidelines or the like for content? Should all questions be fedora related? Do we want to remove posts that are offensive? (Not a technical issue, but thought I would mention it, it would be good to have guidelines for moderation before content appears to meet people's expectations) * Are updates of the app pretty transparent? ie, just yum update? or do they require database changes? * Is there any security history for the application? Have their been security issues and have they been fixed in a timely manner? * Is there themeing available? Would we want to involve the design folks in making a fedora branded theme for it? Some issues: * Currently our app servers are rhel5. We are working to move them to rhel6, but it's not clear when that will be done. We could of course in the mean time just add this on it's own server(s). kevin
