We're getting a new server, and a completely rewritten software (try it out at http://www.piclab.com/newwiki/wiki.phtml)! Just hang on a little while:) Magnus -----Original Message----- From: wikipedia-l-admin(a)nupedia.com [mailto:wikipedia-l-admin@nupedia.com]On Behalf Of D Fisher Sent: Saturday, June 29, 2002 7:19 PM To: wikipedia-l(a)nupedia.com Subject: [Wikipedia-l] Complete breakdown of wikipedia? For the first month or so that I was involved with wikipedia, I found it great fun and very rewarding. Then the response problems started, and the enjoyment I get from it has gradually waned until I am now wondering why I even bother to try and log on. Today, for example, I have attempted to access wikipedia at regular intervals and have never managed to get further than "Recent Changes". Yesterday was the same. I realise that the software is maintained on a voluntary basis. However, if we can't do any better than this, I think we may as well throw in the towel. What is the point of an encyclopedia that no one is able to read? Deb

I'm having zero ability to access the wikipedia over the last few days too... it used to be that I could use it just fine during the Australian daytime, but once the sun rose in America I couldn't do anything because there was too much traffic and everything timed out. This week access speed has dropped down to zero 24/7... I hope that whatever's going on can be fixed quickly... because if it's stopping us from working on the pedia it's also stopping anyone from accessing articles through Google and using them for research purposes. -- Karen AKA Kajikit You can take the dragon out of Alfandra, but you can never take Alfandra out of the dragon (or the Kitty)...
