Benchmarking

These last few weeks have been pretty busy with Mambo 4.6 development activities.  With the amount of underlying code changes in 4.6 the team thought it would be a good time to do some benchmarking.  I got the task of coming up with the initial test plans and producing the first benchmarking report.  The benchmarking is being done with the use of Apache Jmeter - http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/.  We'll be benchmarking Mambo versions 4.5.3h & 4.6 (Internal RC3) with 3 different levels of users (50, 155, & 500).  For fun I'll probably toss Joomla 1.0.7 & 1.1.0 (Alpha 2) into the mix just to see how things match up. The results will be published sometime in the not so distant future.

Another activity that has been consuming most of my time lately is the development of the MOStlyCE editor. As was noted in the 4.6 preview announcement the Mambo team has decided to replace its default TinyMCE editor with a new editor called MOStlyCE.  MOStlyCE is based on TinyMCE and mosCE.  When development on the popular mosCE editor stopped I decided to fork it and continue development.  Immediate needs were to make the editor compatible with Mambo 4.6, to get the TinyMCE guts updated to v2.0.2 from their old v1.45 state, to add in a simple template, and to bake in the ability to enable or disable editor compression for speed.  The majority of the work is now complete, I'm just busy refining and tweaking little things.  Well that's it for now... back to the code.
