> To make matters worse for Drupal security records, the vulnerability is being actively exploited hours after the patch was released by the Drupal core team.

This is true for Drupal 7, but not for Drupal 8. Nothing in wild has surfaced regarding SA-CORE-2018-004 for D8 yet.

Further to that point they can take as long as they like to render a single frame.

Why did you decide to use a custom video player and not an established service like YouTube or Vimeo? I think a lot of people forget how much time these services spend optimising their video players and delivery. Plus, these services are another avenue of content discovery.

Can't see any reasons against using one of these services.

Sounds like an interesting concept. Few thoughts:

- You would need a large user base to get enough momentum for all of the voting and rounds.

- Wouldn't the user-voted platform have the potential to produce a candidate that appealed to an individual equally or even less than existing candidates?

- I don't know if this is the kind of thing which people would put money into on Kickstarter.

Would be interested to hear other peoples thoughts.

Seems like a lot of extra work rather than just clicking a checkbox.

Great project. For anyone interested in serving up static resources seamlessly, you can use something like the following in an Apache config:

  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !^CoralWebPrx
    RewriteRule "\.(png|jpg|css|js)$" http://%{HTTP_HOST}.nyud.net%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
  </IfModule>

I wonder if this can be used in any interesting ways as a drop-in performance enhancement. Using it as an automatic domain sharding solution might be viable?
