[Sw-l] SignPuddle 2 updates

[Steve Slevinski]

Hi SignWriting list,

I'm glad that people still find SignPuddle 2 useful.  I am happy I can 
keep it running. Recently, I needed to make two important updates.

First, South Korea has over 32 thousand sign entries.  They have added 5 
thousand entries in the last week alone.  They had up to 12 editors 
working at the same time.  This was causing an issue that would lock the 
dictionary and prevent searching.  I had to repair the dictionary 
several times before I finally found the problem and fixed the code.  It 
was been working flawlessly for the past two weeks.  They were able to 
finish a huge project and I can't wait to see the results.

Second, Brazil has almost 50 thousand sign entries.  This was causing an 
issue with the Translate feature.  Due to the size of the dictionary, 
long translation requests were taking too long and timing out.  I had to 
rewrite the Translation page to get it to work, but I was able to 
complete the update today.  My testing shows that it is working the same 
as before, but much faster.

Lastly, the legacy server recently became unresponsive and several of 
the websites wouldn't load.  I rebooted the server and everything is 
working again.

If you have any issues, please let me know.

Regards,
-Steve
