Dear Webteam,
Has anyone here investigated/estimated the effort it would take to move to Pier?
I would like to do that investigation and put together some sort of action plan.
If I read the situation correctly, the biggest push for a technology upgrade is twofold:
- Persistence right now is not ideal. - We need an implementation of a CAPTCHA to stop spammers from spamming via "Contact Us".
What did I miss? Some people suggested the look and feel should also be considered during such an upgrade, but I don't think that is a major driver.
If the Pier upgrade can be done successfully and smoothly, I would want to do an integration to http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html to stop the spammers.
Next steps then: - Has anyone looked at a Pier upgrade? - Shall I just grab the current image, start playing with it test the viability of an upgrade?
I don't know of anyone who has invested time to determine how much it would take to port squeak.org over to Pier. There's not a lot of content, so it could be as easy as creating a pier image and then just copy and pasting.
