Thanks for the linode VPS tutorial on how to install mercury, I'm pretty sure I'd be flailing about biting my toenails had I not found it. But before I go ahead and install and configure it, I can't seem to figure out whether mercury is what I'd be needing because most of my users will be authenticated users.

From what it sounds like, varnish+pressflow+awesomesauce=Mercury and that is best for boatloads of anonymous users. So my question is what kind of performance gain would I get if I install mercury running a site built for authenticated users?

I have a Workflow setup like this:

Upcoming - node shows up in "Upcoming Reviews" content pane, but not viewable by anonymous users (also applies to Draft and Waiting states)
Draft - being worked on by author
Waiting for Approval - ready to be reviewed by administrator
Published - Viewable by everyone, shows up in various site sections/taxonomy lists

There's a wiki page about the CRM stack, and I thought it would be valuable to move discussion and clarification here.

With the current, stable ecommerce version, I'm putting together a site where free (price $0) file products can be downloaded without purchase. I've made it so that free file products are uploaded into an unprotected directory, and I've modified ec_file_may_download in file.module to allow these files to be downloaded with whatever permissions. This works perfectly for authenticated users, they can download these files easily, however anonymous users get redirected to a 404.

Hi

I am currently using voting_api + vote_up_down on the smartphone apps site. I'd like to let the anonymous users vote, but in such a way that each user (for example, each IP address) can vote only once per node.

Can it be somehow done with voting_api?
If it can almost be done, I am not afraid of some PHP programing to finalize it, but I'd like to get some guidance on where to start.

Best regards,
Artem.
