Connexions Authoring Performance
Before we get into details, the bottom-line is that Upfront Systems have shown that there are massive potential performance improvements (in some cases 5 times faster) for Connexions on the authoring side and analysed what it will take to implement them. I estimate that the total cost of implementing the specification is $7500.
This should make it a lot easier to raise the money needed to implement the fixes as we know where the problem lies, we have a detailed specification on how to fix it and have a proper analysis of the expected improvements so funders know what their return on investment will be.
