Reopening. I think there's some information around which could be linked to.

That's bug 20079.
Currently, there's no such information on identi.ca/Twitter. The server admin
log (@wikimediatech) mostly lacks such information; @DivaDanese gives some
information but it's not something you can link, additionally @wikipedia
randomly contains updates. But you only need to aggregate.
The easiest thing to do right now seems to use http://identi.ca/group/wikimedia
: it's a quite clean feed; @wikipedia can learn to use the !Wikimedia tag;
sysadmins can easily post updates from IRC using the same tag because Andrew
recently added @wikimediatech to the group; if they don't do so, everybody can
post updates and if they abuse the group they can be blocked.

#wikimedia-status doesn't work; #wikimedia-tech seems a better channel, because
it covers all projects and (AFAIK) more languages. But I agree that it's better
to remove it; otherwise it should point to the web interface, e.g.
http://webchat.freenode.net/?nick=404-....&channels=wikimedia-tech&prompt=1

Please link only to identi.ca.

http://status.wikimedia.org/ is currently quite useless, but it can contain
notices and so on (also from RSS), so it seems a good idea.

It's not a good idea to advertise other (for-profit) websites, and the error
would become too big.
