Jimbo has gotten the server back up; I'm running a check on the database tables now. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Update: the tables are repaired, and I'm now running a backup dump of the database. Should be done within 30-45 minutes. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

You all start with J, I can't tell you apart. ;) The check on the English wikipedia will run for a bit longer (the table was left in a funny state when the server crashed, and MySQL refuses to read it until it's fixed, hence Zoe's error message); those who just can't wait until then, try out Meta-Wikipedia or Wiktionary, which are up: http://meta.wikipedia.org http://wiktionary.org The other language wikipedias are also all up except for French, which I'll run the table check/repair on next. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
