Dear all,
I pass on the following message:

Hi All,
We're seeing a sudden and unexpected ramp up in load on the Wiki and Blog
in the last week or so (nearly doubled over this time in February, I
think!). Which is causing a bit of slow down.
We have a mitigation plan which looks like this:
* Tonight upgrade the server to be much more beefy
* Over the next week work on an aggressive schedule to migrate the
databases to the new DB instance
* Assess whether we can then downgrade the server a little once it is free
of MySQL
This does mean some downtime tonight during the upgrade (say, 15 minutes).
And potentially a little more downtime over the next week as I move things
around.
