Comment on Floating Voting (For Plone Enhancement Requests, That Is) by Wichert Akkerman

dev.plone.org uses a trac with custom modifications for the CIA support. It always takes a while to port that over to a new trac.

In addition I'm waiting for trac 0.11.1 to be released; that will includes some important bug fixes.

That’s a beautiful execution for a highly content-centric site. Very nice!

Comment on Easier Plone Hosting: Some Ideas by Mech422

Hi Jon,

Unfortunately, software doesn't address the biggest issue in plone hosting - RAM. CSquared provides clients with Xen based VM's for plone - and at a minimum you need 512M RAM.

Image creation is easily automated. Updates can be handled by COW (copy on write) file systems, or automated scripts. Administration can be handled by plone_control_panel configlets

But there is no getting around the RAM. And it needs to be physical RAM - swapping just kills Plone.

Even worse, as Zope/Plone is a long running process (as you mentioned...) it eats that RAM even when its not being used. as opposed to (f)cgi based systems that only need the RAM while the script is actually running....

OK, turns out the culprit was my dying Linksys BEFW11S4 router, which started choking as soon as I enabled WPA. iPeng is now chugging along like a champ, and I’m in iPod-Squeezebox remote control heaven. Thanks, Coolio!

That’s an amazingly cute little place, probably great for bbqs… I’d put a hammock in the front yard

Jon,
that’s what pingbacks are for, isn’t it? Mail me, if you want to keep this out of the blog, mail me.
iPeng definitely should NOT time out, however slow your hardware is, the 0.5.1 version should be pretty fast.
So debugging basics:
You don’t get any timeouts with your Laptop? Is that attached through WLAN as well?
How’s your “normal” internet on the iPod?
I’ve only seen timeouts when some file could not be accessed or the server or connection is VERY slow.
