My only concern is that people may expect the dev site to be using a test database, and will play around with new features using test data. Not sure if you can flag the data coming in from that server or not, or what approach you might take to mitigate this problem (other than a dev database) but I can see the data getting very dirty. Of course I'm not sure what's to keep the "production" database from getting dirty either.
On another note, I am the problem child trying to tweak our account (team 2876) so our team scouts can all share it (I didn't know it was that way until after I signed up, but it makes sense). I've gotten my administrative password straightened out, but in the process I've noticed the change preferences ajax call is getting a 500 error (specifically update-preferences-ajax.php - from my Chrome dev tools: "Request Method:POST, Status Code:500 Internal Server Error"). We are okay, but it would be good to fix this so people can update their passwords.

Our hope is that people, in the spirit of FRC, will not enter junk data just to mess with others. The dev site will never be so unstable as to create such a situation, however, we do recommend that people use the main one as stable things will be pushed to it pretty frequently. At this point, most of the new features will involve data output, not entry, so junk data from testing out new features shouldn't be too much of an issue anyways.
I will fix the issue with the update preferences page, thanks for the heads-up ;) |
