One thousand repositories!

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

This morning the Repository Mashup Map hit the magic number of 1,000 repositories represented on the map! Between them, they now hold over 8.7 million items.

There has also been a bit of work going on behind the scenes trying to make the maps perform better in your browser. They now close more cleanly, ensuring that they do not use up resources on your computer once you move on to view another page. Over the next few weeks it is hoped that we can reduce the loading time of the maps by almost a half, but at the same time introduce some growth graphs for each repository. Stay tuned!
