Can I ask that developers use LiveJournal -
http://www.livejournal.com/community/wikitech/ - to keep people informed about
problems on the Wikimedia servers and what's being tried to fix it. People are
much happier about something being broken when they know why and what's being
done about. We also need one central low-noise source for information, and I
feel the LJ is probably the best bet for that.
