Tables
|
| |
Is there any way of improving how tables display? Take a look at this
page: [link],
its gobbledygook! The site's looking much better apart from that
though.

How much data is there, anyway?
|
| |
We currently have just over half the total number of expected files in
the public application. The database and search indexes combine to be
about 32Gb.
For the full data set, we might say about 64Gb for the total for
database and search indexes. We cache most pages too so that would
probably add another 40Gb or 50Gb, maybe more. So the total would be... more »

Tiny usability suggestion...
|

On the main page: [link]
The decades are links 1920s, 1930s, etc...
It would be great if the sparkline type graphic above the text linked
to the same place.
Thanks,

Server upgrades: May 2008
|
| |
We thought you might like to know how we're going about the next phase
of work on the Hansard Prototype. Here's a basic outline of what we're
up to in the first couple of weeks of May:
- we have a new method of matching and reconciling speaker names,
which we're testing out locally
- we're building two new servers (not real ones, virtual ones) ready... more »

Lords and Commons
|
| |
Would it be possible to identify which debates took place in the Lords
(why not coloured any indicators red) and the Commons (green) - apart
from this, a great site

Having a lie down, new servers coming soon
|
| |
We're taking a break for a couple of weeks, until the third week in
April. The good news is that further funding has been secured to
enable us to get back to work on putting the rest of the information
we have online - that is, back to 1804 or thereabouts.
This will take some time. We're getting a couple of servers we'll have... more »

30 March: upgrading our servers
|
| |
We've managed to get some more space on our servers, which means that
we should be able to avoid an incident where the site becomes unstable
too quickly.
We're currently making some changes to the configuration of the
servers and hope to be up and show pages again soon.
