"Toto, I've a feeling we're not on the toolserver any more."

So, things are progressing at a fair clip; there is now a database available to the tools, which means that most tools that do not depend on the presence of the database replicas should be workable in the new environment. Maintainers are welcome to poke me (by email or on IRC) if they want to start playing in the new environment, and I'll be glad to show them around and set them up.

My plate this week is going to be occupied mostly with helping people with the new environment, setting up puppet classes to subsume the tools- instances' configuration, and writing documentation aimed at tool maintainers looking to join the project. (The latter being driven a great deal by what the actual maintainers do in fact stumble on).

It's a low update week, much of the work this past week and in the next few is going to be in the "boring gruntwork" category; but that's a good thing because it means we're reaching cruising altitude. You may now use your personal electronic devices and move around the cabin; but for safety reasons, the captain requests that you keep your seatbelt on whenever you are at your seat.
