[GSoC 2020] Questions About Performance Farm Benchmarks and Website

Hi there,

I am potentially interested in the performance farm project listed here:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GSoC_2020#Develop_Performance_Farm_Benchmarks_and_Website_.282020.29

I've applied to the pgperffarm mailing list as well, but am waiting for
moderator approval so I thought this list would be the best to ask about
the performance farm code.

Here are the questions based on the
https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgperffarm.git;a=summary repo:

- Why is a front end framework used instead of django templates?
- Any reason why the server hasn't been containerized?
- Django 1.11 will no longer be supported in April 2020, is it time to
move to 2.2 LTS? (
https://www.djangoproject.com/download/#supported-versions)
- What have been the issues with authentication integration to
postgresql.org?
- Should the client be turned into a package for package managers (e.g.
pypi, DPKG, brew, etc.)?
- The project description mentions refactoring to Python 3, but it seems
like that was completed last GSoC?
- Should the performance visualizations be added again?

I've also looked at past mailing lists for this project, but am interested
in hearing current insights from the community:
