re -- More Venus
Sam is troubled:
I’m troubled by the A couple of things are lost though statement. Excerpting and filtering are meant to be one of the strengths of Venus. Can anybody explain more fully the feature that is missing?
There are two reasons that they’re now missing:
- I’m really pushed for time at the moment. Planet Sun has been mostly broken for several months and getting something working seemed important.
- From the
architecture
diagram I understood that filtering happens before an item is
placed in the cache. This seems to run contrary to the filtering
that I implemented for Planet, and
suggests that I’d need a cache per output site (i.e. distinct
caches for each of
filter/java,filter/solaris,category/javaandcategory/solaris). Last time that I asked about this there didn’t seem to be a reply.
If there is demand for the filtered/categorised feeds, let me know.
