At RimBlock's suggestion here is a backlog of new feature requests for the site. Certainly lots to do and not enough time to complete everything immediately. If you feel something should be added, please post in STH Site Organization Suggestions where ideas can be vetted.

Current feature backlog:

  • Fix varnish comments on main wordpress site. Need to purge pages on comments posting
  • Add underlines to links so they stand out better on the site
  • Add memcached to architecture to improve load times
  • Add image hosting domains to improve load times
  • Test forum image hosting with some users
  • STHbench
    • New rev of STHbench-Dev010.sh so that tests run without issue
      • memcached
      • apache
      • nginx
      • possibly with an in-memory mysql application with #2 or #3
      • 7-zip non-pts
      • pybench non-pts
    • Create parser for STHbench
    • Create way for script to upload results to server
    • Create web results viewer
    • Other STHbench options
      • Option to run script multiple times
      • Option to run only selected tests
      • LiveCD/ USB
  • Forums login SSL
  • Add ability to give thanks
