in reply to Throw your money at tye!

Oh two questions:

Perhaps tye can give us an rough estimate on how long he'd like to work on perlmonks/node_cache/everything_engine. The unit could be hours or dollars/euros.

Can anyone point me to a thread where it is explained why we cannot upgrade to a newer version of the everything engine?

    The problem is that Perlmonks does not run on the stock Everything engine. The code is heavilly modified. Upgrading to a newer version of Everything would mean porting those modificatons to it as well.

      The newer Everything engine is also slower. So that wouldn't be a great trade-off. There is much talk/work about making it faster, but, as I understand things, it is still likely to be slower than what we are using (and, AFAIK, its node cache is still broken in the same ways).
