Just a reminder that there are Appengine users outside the US. Here in New Zealand I'm happy that this time it's early morning, unlike all the previous ones that we're smack bang in the middle of my day. If you think about it, some applications will be busiest first thing in the morning, some during business hours, and some in the evening. Throw in Europe and Asia, and there is no good time for maintenance. I'm hoping that Google will phase out maintenance outages completely - any Googlers like to comment on the possibility of this? Like you, I have paying customers. I email them warnings about each outage, and get very few complaints. I generally hold a couple of feature updates until after each outage so customers feel their getting some return for the inconvenience. This turns the outage into a positive thing, because it gives the impression that we're improving and refining the system. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
