Hello,

in view of making contributors.debian.org a useful tool for the MIA
team, I'd like to experiment with having a view that shows a list of all
people with a debian.org account who have not had any visible
contributions in the last X years.

Heya,

I am interested in implementing this. I have two questions before starting:

- this should only be visible for DDs ?
- have you thought of caching this information somewhere since doing the
query at each request might be costly (performance wise)? And maybe
running the query once a day or so?

Cheers,

Orestis

I accidentally implemented it right after Debconf, as I needed to give a
talk about contributors.debian.org for Froscon and I decided that rather
than say in a slide that this could happen in the future, it would have
looked nicer to say in the slide that this had already happened:

https://contributors.debian.org/contributors/mia

It could use improvements, as you say, ot make performance better. For
example, caching the results of the request to nm.debian.org, maybe just
using Django's cache framework: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/cache/

The cache framework can also be applied to just the view, and it'll take
care of expiration and everything.

Would you like to give that a try?


Enrico

Oh ok cool :)

Yeap i ll have look at the caching framework.

Cheers,

Orestis
