- Can we adapt it to a storage backend which doesn't use a shared
filesystem?
yes, but i think it would be very silly to write such a thing for a single extension. is the FileRepo interface generic enough to be used for something like this? (while that would still use NFS for now, it could easily be changed to HTTP or whatever else we decide to use in the future.)
- Garbage collection for unused output files? Previews or changed pages
could leave the system littered with millions of output files which will never be used again.
It'd be nice to solve these for math and timelines as well -- perhaps a unified system?
i'm not sure off hand how this is doable. (and it's another thing that probably shouldn't be done inside a single extension.) but, if a mechanism were to exist to do it, it should be simple to add to the extension.
- Rendering multiple output formats on parse could potentially be quite
slow; if there are resource-usage problems, it would be nice to isolate them like we currently do for image thumbnails (rendered on-demand on a sub-cluster).
i suppose this would need something like thumb-handler.php. i will see about adding it.
