The SourceForge.net team is conducting a global performance test as part of our ongoing program to assess site performance. We have written and released open source code for a tool called Beacon that allows us to gather timing data directly from users. We’re looking to recruit users worldwide to install the Beacon plugin and test a group of links once a week, at least three times a month, for six months. If you participate, we’ll pay you $10US each month via PayPal.
To read more about the program, see this article. If you are interested in this effort, please contact our testing program manager, Daniel Hinojosa, via email at daniel at geek.net.
