At any rate, if you do that again, I can get the read-only backup going quickly if you notify me (mail to wikidown is fine). Of course larousse by itself drags to a crawl with high traffic, even read-only, because it's not quite as hefty a server.
Well, if we get around to the prettified static-HTML mirrorable version that's been discussed, that would be preferable to the database-driven live version for emergency purposes.
But, we don't have that done yet.
It's also high time we move the mailing lists to the other server so we can still communicate during downtime...
Since both pliny and larousse are going to be used for the live wiki, I see no point at all in moving the lists from one to the other. They need to be on a completely different server--even offsite, if possible.
Offsite would be better yet, but I'd rather see them on larousse, which does _not_ have a history of crashing once a month or so and being offline for hours at a time, than remain on pliny.
