Hongyuan, our student last summer, put together a summary of his progress in a GitHub issue: https://github.com/PGPerfFarm/pgperffarm/issues/22 We have systems for proofing (from OSUOSL) and you can also see the prototype here: http://140.211.168.111/ For Phase 1, I'd recommend getting familiar with the database schema in place now. Perhaps it can use some tweaking, but I just mean to suggest that it might not be necessary to rebuild it from scratch. In Phase 2, we had some difficulty last year about getting the authentication/authorization completely integrated. I think the main issue was how to integrate this app while using resources outside of the community infrastructure. We may have to continue working around that. Otherwise, I think the rest make sense. Let us know if you have any more questions. Regards, Mark -- Mark Wong 2ndQuadrant - PostgreSQL Solutions for the Enterprise https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/
