We plan to roll this out next week to all languages and projects, Tuesday, February 8, with work starting at 07:00 UTC (which is 11pm on Monday, February 7 for San Francisco).

We have a test instance of the software we plan to deploy available at http://prototype.wikimedia.org/. If you find issues, please report them in Bugzilla: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bugzilla There are many, many little fixes and improvements that have gone into 1.17 (see the draft release notes[2] for an exhaustive list) . There isn’t much that’s visible to users of the site, but one under the hood improvement that should result in some speed improvements: Resource Loader[3]. Resource Loader optimizes the use of JavaScript in MediaWiki, speeding up delivery of JavaScript by compressing it sometimes, and cutting down on the amount of unused JavaScript that gets delivered to the browser in the first place. Much of the work in this development cycle has been centered on ensuring compatibility with the new system. Since it makes such a large shift in the way that JavaScript is delivered to the browser, it’s also an operational aspect we’ll be keeping a close eye on, as load shifts between servers in our infrastructure. Note that this isn’t a release for download, yet. On and after February 8, the “latest” version of MediaWiki will still be 1.16 as listed on mediawiki.org.

As far as I'm aware, as a long standing matter of practice, WMF sites run the latest stable or development Mediawiki, as a matter of eating our own dog food. That implies that the notice was merely a courtesy because the change was expected to cause downtime, rather than a point of discussion. My understanding is barring technical problems caused by an upgrade, individual projects have about the same chances to switch their project to Microsoft Sharepoint as they do to hold back an upgrade. This may seem unusual because everything else revolves around discussion, but the developers and sysadmins need consistency to be able to support as many projects as WMF hosts - otherwise they'd probably be looking at having 2-3 devs for each project in each language, which is simply unfeasible even with WMF's resources. -Stephanie On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 10:39 AM, Gerard Meijssen gerard.meijs...@gmail.com wrote: Hoi, What would more notice achieve ?

On a more general note, does the error page we display when the site goes down (for whatever reason) link to theses places? From what I remember from last time I saw that page it only links to an IRC channel. Perhaps it should refer people to the status dashboard and also link to the donation page?
