Things that would be real nice but not absolutely necessary, IMO:
- Upgrade Pliny (our webserver) and Larousse (our
database server). I'm tempted to move this item up...
By all means, do so. I hate to say it, but Wikipedia's performance is often quite abyssmal - it can easily take a few minutes to save a large page after an edit, and I am under the impression that all other accesses to Wikipedia are also greatly stalled during that time.
