Dear Josh

We do not have project sites with that many users, but we have course sites with more than 20 000 students. We mainly experience problems with tools where the details of all the participants are loaded as default on the first page. Lately we also had problems with announcements in the emails to large groups. We are still not sure whether it is resolved with some upgrade on our side. We also run Sakai 2.6.x on Oracle, nine production nodes.

We're considering creating a Project Site as part of a strategic planning process that could have between 5000 - 8000 users in that one site.  We'd likely only have 500-800 fairly active users but most would be posting a last something to the site at some point.

I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with Project Sites that are this big?  Did you encounter any performance issues? Other problems?

Thanks, Josh
