We had very bad experience with using the WLX jury tool this year. I described it at length here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:WLX_Jury_Tool
Several possible solutions are also mentioned on that page. I would like to hear your opinion about this situation. Could anyone help Ilya with developing and maintaining the jury tool, and make sure that it works at it should work?
If we are planning to meet a very sharp deadline of October 25 for WLM photos, the jury tool should work absolutely smoothly, and user support has to be very prompt. Or it would be good to know already now that we can't rely on the jury tool, and alternative solutions should be searched for.
Sincerely, Alexander
Hi Alexander, I used Ilya's tool this year for first time and I was limited by some functionalities, but I survived.
In my opinion a lot of problems are generated by operational problems (server availability and delays) which are really minor problems in my opinion.
I used other tools in the past and had similar problems because the hosting solution did not assure the scalability and the resources were limited.
I really suggest to focus in a singles solution instead of looking in alternatives.
Any software, even if good, can have problem if hosted in a limited hosting provider.
FYI I started anytime a trial round to check the configuration and afterwards a valid round as soon I was sure to set correctly any configuration. This is a workaround but a workaround is needed in any critical mission.
If a selection is run in the last days, we are in this case in a mission critical situation, and the tool cannot assure to solve any kind of problems.
I will be sure that Ilya will set a tool and will assure a good level of service.
Kind regards
