A note about the dashboard

Hi folks,

FYI: loading the dashboard makes requests to the GitHub API. The browser runs as an unautheticated user because I couldn't be bothered to work out the login dance and force everyone using the dashboard to login. GitHub rate limits unauthenticated API requests to 100 per hour.

If you reload the dashboard several times in the same hour, especially when there are a lot of open PRs, you may find that the page stops working.

You have three options, basically:

1. Go for a brisk walk, clear your head, and come back in an hour.
2. Use a VPN to change your apparent IP address.
3. Navigate by hand.

The URIs are predictable. For example, if you’re interested in the DeltaXML diff of the F&O document for PR #1100, it’s here:

  https://qt4cg.org/pr/1100/xpath-functions-40/autodiff.html

That will work even if the dashboard is currently rate limiting you.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
