It seems that its related to the migration of our main services to the new data center in Virginia, USA.

The wiki will be down for at least an hour if things go smoothly, possibly longer if things go wrong :)

I would translate but I receive the message that the website is in a read-only mode.

Is there something that I should do before?

Hey guys,

So I wanted to do two things, firstly a brief keeping you guys in the loop on the state of the international fundraiser and what to expect over the coming months.

As many of you may know from the metric's meetings and emails to the wikimedia-l list last november, the plan is to shift from the big push annual fundraiser to a more subtle, lower impact year round fundraiser. This is going to be happening over the coming months and I am sure that more details about how exactly this will happen will appear in time.

With regards to the international portion of the 12/13 fundraiser, we intend to restart testing in the top ten languages in the coming weeks, with the remainder of languages following later on. This means that you will start seeing translation requests coming in somewhat regularly over the coming months. Most of work that was done will still be used so nothing has gone to waste but there is a greatly expanded thank you portion to the fundraiser featuring numerous editors from all backgrounds that will require alot of work.

We are going to aim to try and keep a torrent of notifications from being sent out so some will be sent out in batches via a bot as well as through this mailing list to at least reduce some of the annoyance.

If you have any questions feel free to ask here or email me.

The final thing I wanted to ask is I could really do with some Italian translations for this request: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ATranslate&taction=translate&group=page-Fundraising+2012%2FTranslation%2FDrop+down+banner&language=it&limit=100&task=view

Italian is going to be the first of the big languages to undergo a big testing phase.

Thank you :)
