Nov 17 - 20 @ ServerCentral in Chicago

Goals / plans for the MetaCPAN Hackathon

• API Tickets
• Web Tickets

Switch to new ES index

Tasks:

• Review ES configuration and indexing is optimal and does not need a re-index (PRE MC::Hack)
• Look at snapshots/backups
• Migrate user data

Fix:

• Login / rating problem to be fixed

Discuss, make plans, work on:

• Improve search results to match expectations!

  • How do we test we are improving it?
  • Suboptimal searches to improve

• Improve Perl releases

  • Perl not returning in searches
  • Perl not auto indexing

• Unified logging system in place (Logstash/Kibana - ES 5 on a BM box)?

• Postgres data source (and infrastructure)

• Cleaning up code...

  • Move some search queries from web to api.. So avoiding duplication in clients... should have a separate namespace? - warnings about usage?...
  • Documentation
  • Tests
  • Gutting or reworking async in metacpan-web
