I've just uploaded a version of the store software with the following
changes:
- /api/aggregator now computes per-capita spending data if you add
"&per-population2006=region" to the end of the URL. See docs at /api for
details. (You can deduce that the store now holds data about the
populations of regions. Eventually data of this sort will be available
from the web interface, but I haven't written that part yet, so the
population data currently only used by the aggregator).
- /api/aggregator is now behind a cache. This makes a huge performance
improvement. The aggregator should now respond almost instantly, apart
from the first time a given request is made on a given day. Let me know if
you notice any cache-related problems - I hope there will be none,
obviously!
- Spending is now expressed in pounds, as opposed to in millions of
pounds. (And similarly population is in people, not thousands of people).
We decided that this is more appropriate for the store. Obviously the
presentation layer can choose its own display convention...
Dave, is there anything else you need before you can make progress
integrating the presentation layer with the store?
