           Summary: Come up with plan to turn off logged in users on
                    launch
           Product: webplatform.org
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: infrastructure
        AssignedTo: schepers@w3.org

The caching only works for anonymous users. At launch there is a danger that
many people will create accounts, not intending to edit now, but rather in the
abstract future. If we get a lot of people doing this and viewing many pages,
the site could fall over.

We should have a banner on the sign-up page that explains that we may need to
disable new account sign-ups due to high load, and if that happens folks should
come back in a few days to sign up. Then, we should be prepared to flip the
switch to disable new logins if we get to the danger point during the launch.
