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

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
