My slides from the Developers’ Track talk at WWW2007 are now online – you’ll need a recent standards-compliant browser that handles XSLT happily. The talk seemed to go well – at least I had some very positive feedback afterwards. TimBL raised some useful points about licensing of Revyu content, and using the Tabulator confirmed the suspicion I’d had for sometime that the content negotiation on Revyu URIs isn’t sensitive to q values in the Accept header. Hmm, maybe time to replace ModRewrite rules with something a little bit more powerful? The session was audio recorded, so quality-permitting there’ll be a replay online sometime soon.

I recommend nginx. All the rewrite/header rules I wanted were straightforward to write; plus some connection problems I was having with ajax/comet (nevow) just went away.

Thanks drewp, that’s really good to know. This might be a good route to follow when/if Revyu moves onto dedicated servers. At that point I’ll also be looking into moving the backend triplestore to something like Openlink Virtuoso, which seems to do everything short of making me a cup of tea.
