The other point I would make is that one really "feel" the difference
when USA is waking up :-(
During mornings here, wikipedia is perfectly editable.
Rather than making all sites unavailable at peak hours, would it be
possible to imagine turns ?
Other ideas ?
We get most edits from logged-in users, right? And generation of
logged-in user pages takes more time than just dumping pages from the
squids for anons, right?
So, how about multi-level miser mode! Go through the steps until the
site is workable:
1. Everyone gets anon pages; except logged-in users get logged-in edit pages
2. Anons and a randomly chosen user set are prohibited from editing for,
say, one hour (includes newly generated accounts to prevent spontaneous
edit-sock-puppet-generation)
3. Read-only-mode for everyone
Alternatively, we could in turn put en&de (for example) and all projects
*except* those in read-only. Or is that what you meant with "turns"?
