Improvements to SciPy.org Server
Greetings Gentle Folk, I'm happy to announce that the server hosting SciPy.org, as well as other OSS projects, has been migrated into a cluster assigned to our community support efforts. The base instance itself remains relatively unchanged, but is now running atop a more capable set of servers. (Improvements to the services themselves are next in line.) Yesterday afternoon, I allowed the system to run with the configurations carried over from the old hardware, while watching the services for warning signs of trouble. Then, that evening, I loosened things up and adjusted configurations to better utilize the available resources. Though I always expect there to be "gotchas", I've thus far observed much improved response times and throughput. If you do experience any problems, please do not hesitate to let us know. We hope you enjoy the improvements to SciPy.org. Thanks, -- Aaron River Sr IT Administrator Enthought, Inc. --

As someone who has been grateful, yet frustrated over the years because the flakiness of the server has impacted ipython on occasion, I'd like to thank you for this! I can tell right away that things are *much* better, because this page had become very hit-or-miss on whether it would even render at all (and when it did, it usually took forever to come back): http://www.scipy.org/Topical_Software and now it's instant. I hadn't seen that page render this quickly since the day I created it as a tiny list of bookmarks some 6 years ago! So many, many thanks :) f

On this note, I looked at this page and the first two links I looked at (pycode & graceplot) where broken ... Is there a tool to highlight broken links in some way .... ? Obviously this is a general problem of wiki sites that exceed a certain life time ;-) (maybe there is a moinmoin plugin ...) Thanks for scipy, Sebastian Haase

http://mentat.za.net/numpy/topical_webcheck/ This is just a static page showing the results for the page in its current state. Did I hear someone volunteering to fix these? :) Regards Stéfan
