Launchpad itself

why are the following issues still there? and how can they be resolved?

Asked by Stephan Woidowski

while working on the site and some projects (see my profile), it is inconvenient to get some messages like that:

Timeout error
Sorry, something just went wrong in Launchpad.

We’ve recorded what happened, and we’ll fix it as soon as possible. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Trying again in a couple of minutes might work.

(Error ID: OOPS-7f81b726f34b617f3f2a44ee1039f7a0)

every second time i try to access to a new line of code to contribute or translate.

My question is: Is the team of Launchpad working on a solution of the issue with these time outs? And if this is, will it work finally to make it more stable?

(Please use more informative subject lines. In general, each category of timeout is a different issue.)

We're not currently working on this particular timeout on DummyPOFile:+translate; there aren't many of us and we have a lot to do. If you want us to work on these then the starting point would be to file a bug rather than to open a question, although I can't promise exactly when that would translate into finding time to sort out that particular timeout. The core problem here is that the parent POFile:+translate view needs to collect translation suggestions in bulk rather than issuing a database query to collect translation suggestions for each individual message.

As for possible workarounds, retrying a couple of times is quite likely to work (since the relevant database rows will have been read into memory, so we can sometimes get away with making a lot more database queries than strictly necessary), and reducing the batch size by appending ?batch=5 to the URL may help too.
