If you want the browser to refresh the page automatically, then you
can set a meta-refresh:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh
def index():
...
response.refresh = ...
return dict(...)
If you want to invalidate caches, then you can do this within Apache:

def index():
map = gis.show_map(...)
return dict(map=map,...)

Yes, I would include the db lookups in the index() controller & pass
back a snippet of HTML to the view...

1. HP is public for all people and are expected to be eager for the
info about disaster response/situation/relief. However, we should be
careful about the stabability of the server during the disaster peak.
Keep the server run smoothly and have all SahanaTW users are able to
work without any disruption of unexpected shutdown is the top
priority.
2. The update frequency for twitter should be higher than map. How is
this for now?
3. Not all layer of map will be displayed on HP, 2 would be maximan.

You may want to consider setting up multiple servers.
Multiple webservers for load-balancing is easy, but can also keep one
just for core team.
Whilst the writable database can only be on one server, it is a good
idea to replicate this to a backup server anyway.
If the normal public don't write, their views can be generated from
this backup copy.
With a little work, the odd writable forms they have to submit
requests could be sent to the main DB.
db = (slave db for reads)
db2 = (master db for writes) <- then amend the odd writable forms to
use this db2 instead of db.
The server used by internal staff could simple have db2 = db

// Default time in milliseconds for the feed to be reloaded.
GFdynamicFeedControl.DEFAULT_FEED_CYCLE_TIME = 1800000;
=> every 30 minutes
I pushed this down to 5 minutes in Trunk I think & this also exposes
the setting to Sahana:

Note that this is all done within the clients, so doesn't add any
extra load to the main server :)

The Map API is fully-configurable :)

we should raise this as an issue in the next meeting and have a plan
to know how much HW resourse ShanaTW will need in the coming months.
