- zaidf 17y agoI am already using the data under the premise of FOIA. Even if I request it explicitly, they will need to provide it electronically and will have the same supposed problems with traffic overload.
- shib71 17y agoExcept that they would only have to deal with 1 hit/min instead of 130, and possibly on a static file instead of a one generated on the fly.
- jerf 17y agoWhere did that 1hit/min come from? Does the FOIA have guidelines about that? (I ask for information, not as criticism.)
- zaidf 17y agoI think what he means is if they make a custom page, they can provide ALL classes data for ALL depts on one page...where as right now I am having to query 130 different pages to get class data from 130 departments.
- cflee 17y agoIn which case wouldn't the traffic overload issue be resolved? 1 request/min seems a far cry from ~130 requests/min, and quite a reasonable compromise.
