We already get spammed enough with notices, which is one of the reasons many people hide them permanently via css so they never intrude again, which would make them pointless for the more established users, also overkill for what was meant to be (from my understanding) only a few minutes of downtime. Just because we can send something via notices doesn't mean we should, it can and has been devaluing their importance to people.
As for the earlier comments about changing the irc channel, how about we point it to the #wikimedia-status (or whatever its called) channel that is designed to hand out info in downtimes compared to the general #wikipedia which i believe it currently points to. -Peachey _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
