Just a note: on an overall basis, the traffic for the English wikipedia is about the same as all the others combined. If we could get the processor upgrade for larousse actually in place, well that would be great. Since that doesn't seem to be forthcoming, alternatively, we could move some of the languages to larousse and put English on pliny only.
Actually, Jason has a new machine built which I'm giving to Wikipedia. It's apparently stable and all, and he offered to drive it down today, but I figured he could wait a bit until he has other reasons to go down (which he will, soon, since I've ordered some parts and a new server for Bomis, etc.).
So within a week or two, Wikipedia will be getting a new server as a Christmas gift from Bomis. Not a mondo powerhouse, but perfectly decent.
