From the editor: Web systems community - to those who believe we are done already

In this paper, the author describes about the Web system community and flash crowd. The sudden and huge increase in request rates the server experienced is known to Web administrators as a flash crowd. Flash crowds have long been an important research problem, and numerous solutions exist. Organizations can operate Web sites through a cluster of computers instead of a single server, which lets the sites sustain a much larger load. We describe here few of the Web´s wrong or missing features.
