can we agree to do that only in projected bigger changes? Due to the number of services we host updates and changes happen every day, mostly just minor things. Sending mails every time before and after will triple the workload. It makes only sense to inform when there is any impact, such as this time when problems occured that were not predictable. The whole thing took 15 minutes and I guess nobody except the ones in the staff meeting with me noticed anything. /Manuel -- Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Lausanne, +41 (21) 34066-22 - www.wikimedia.ch _______________________________________________ http://wikimedia.ch Wikimedia CH website Wikimediach-l mailing list https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediach-l
