LeMill Blog

One of the most active countries in LeMill community is Georgia. They have also set up their own LeMill server ge.lemill.net because international network connection is not fast enough there.

Today we noticed that the Georgian LeMill server has reached 2000 published learning resources. This is even more than teachers from 50 countries have published in lemill.net (1477 at the moment).

The Georgian state schools computerization program Deer Leap was launched in March 2005. In last two years Deer Leap Foundation has done a huge job in promoting LeMill among Georgian teachers. LeMill developers have had a chance to visit Georgia twice during that time. Next week our developers from Tallinn University will be again in Georgia to organize workshops with teachers.

Our excellent hosting service Gocept migrated LeMill from their temporary hosting platform to their actual one. Our entire cluster in now running as several virtual servers inside a single physical high grade server structure.

As performance has been an issue, I’ve been running performance tests using hammerhead. In the previous hosting setup the current version of LeMill was able to serve 20 simultaneous users with a response time of 2.03 seconds (measured on the 15th of October). With the new server, we’ve seen significant speed improvements and the same test yielded responses in 1.46 seconds, so that’s a 25% increase in speed.
