Hello all,
at the moment it is difficult to inform our toolusers (people that use our
tools) about planed maintainces, downtimes and other important things.
So I had the idea today that a kind of global sitenotice (like the one in the
wikimedia-projects) would be nice and a easy solution for that. The easiest
way to implement it is IMHO a simple textfile, that toolauthors
may/can/should/whatever insert in their tools. I created such a file, it can
be found at /var/www/sitenotice on wolfsbane and via
http://toolserver.org/sitenotice. For normal the file would be empty or
contains only a empty div-container. If the roots know about a planed downtime
or an important change, they would insert a short text in the file and our
toolusers would be informed.
The setup is differend to
status.toolserver.org, because status lists only the
current status, not a futuraly status.
Please comment at the toolserver-mailinglist and tell me/us if you would
implement the sitenotice in your tools.
Sincerly,
DaB.
