Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Spamassassin Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by LOAFER:
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RulesProjMoreInput

The comment on the change is:
Adding a few suggestions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* checked rules and their results are kept in a version-control history, so benefits of VC are available
* ongoing visibility of hit-rates of the existing ruleset, against fresh corpora

+ (LOAFER: Suggestion: It would be good to know the % runtime figure for a sandbox rule as a missing boundary can take a rule from 1.5% to 0.0n% performance hit easily
+ {{{
+ perl -d:DProf mass-check -j=1 spam:dir:some_reasonable_sample_set_including_hits_and_misses
+ dprofpp -O 2000 > perf.log
+ }}}
+ Someway of scheduling a small run during the development day would be useful, rather than waiting for the nightly.
+ An email of users completed results would be nice to see too.
+ )
+
(TODO: migrate the ruleqa CGI onto the SpamAssassin zone so this is still visible, even though the automc stuff is disabled)

rules may depend on other rules that were not changed as part of the same
commit. So I think the "email with attached rules file" is still a better
model.'
+ LOAFER: There are eval rules to consider too.
