David,
Yes, there will be a "catch-all" page which will be served for all
accesses to our website, Bugzilla, Wiki, and so on. There will actually
be two -- one at each location to catch all the requests as DNS updates
propagate. Also, we will make announcements increasingly prominent as
the dates approach.
FWIW, this will be my second time moving the entire Eclipse.org
infrastructure. Although the scale is different, I have more knowledge
this time around.

Markus, and others, one suggestion I've heard (thanks John) is that
for M5, at least, we leave the schedule the same, but not announce its
available until Monday when all is back on line. Maybe that'd work for
RAP too?
Denis, I assume during this outage, that the current provider will
have a generic "Sorry, entire sight and all Eclipse services are down
for maintenance until Monday AM", or similar, at least for
www.eclipse.org?That would at least help the general users who don't
follow our lists closely? I see now there is an "announcement" there,
prominent at the top of the list. I think that's sufficient for now,
but it there are other announcements before 2/9 I would suggest some
form of this announcement be made part of the banner, or similar, so
it stays prominent.
Thanks,

Hi Markus,
We've examined all the dates and have concluded that Feb 9-10 to be
the best one, which also provides us with a fall-back date of Feb
16-17 should there be migration issues or horrendous weather.
It is unfortunate, but please work with your community on a new
release date.
Thanks,
Denis

Hi Denis,
we, the RAP project, have scheduled our RAP 2.0 release for the 8th of
February, the day before your planned data centre move. For us this is
a very unfortunate timing and we would like to avoid the frustration
and this kind of first impression of our users trying to download it.
The same applies for the Kepler M5 release. This is scheduled for the
same Friday and will face the same problems.
As far as I can see, I change of the move by one week would be much
better according to the different Eclipse calenders that I know. If
the date of this move is finalized, we must consider re-scheduling the
releases.
Thanks,
Markus

In case you missed this announcement on the committers list...
On Saturday, February 9 2013 the Eclipse Foundation will be moving its
servers to a new data centre. This modern facility will provide
improved server cooling, substantial increases to our bandwidth,
available AC power and cabinet (rack) space while reducing our hosting
costs. During the move, all _eclipse.org_
<http://eclipse.org/>services will be offline, including Bugzilla,
Wiki, Git, Gerrit and our website, _www.eclipse.org_
<http://www.eclipse.org/>. Our plans are to begin the move on
Saturday morning (Eastern time), February 9 2013 and have all services
restored by Sunday afternoon, February 10 2013.
We'd like to apologize in advance for the inconveniences that this
move will cause. However, the benefits are compelling and will
provide the Eclipse Foundation with the infrastructure needed to
continue its growth for many years to come.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at
_webmaster@eclipse.org_ <mailto:webmas...@eclipse.org>
Thanks,
Denis
