Sourcefinder Future transition from beta to production.

[Newshound]

Hi everyone,



So I thought I should lay out my plans for how Sourcefinder is going to transition from its current beta state in to a production state.



From now on, the work units pushed out each week (on a Wednesday) will have their error rates measured. Any work units that fail due to computation errors or Boinc errors will be tracked and logged. Note that work units with invalid results wont be counted because they still represent a valid computation. This will continue until we're consistently getting less than 5% of work units being lost to errors, at that point I'll start looking at transitioning the current Sourcefinder server to a proper full production state.

From now on I'll be including the current work unit error rates in the weekly changelog.



If anyone has any thoughts on this, please let me know.

I'm also interested in whether my 5% target is too much, and whether I should relax it to 10% or something similar.



Thanks,

Sam
