what are the errors?
I don't want to post a message here every time I find an error, I want
to GO AND FIX IT the way we ALWAYS DO in Wikimedia land. Please
understand that!
you can't fix them without local server access,
because unlike the
portal pages, these pages are not taken from meta, as meta is not up
when the downtime message is shown :-)
Please put them on meta (or indeed any other wiki) and update the copies
that actually get shown periodically.
Either way, DO NOT, like, EVER, rely on people e-mailing you (or this
list or IRC or anything else). Neither with error corrections nor with
new translations. You will never get them that way.
The downtime message was beautiful, but it was still hugely embarrassing
because it was so full of mistakes and unprofessionalities. This is
*not* the right way to get people to stop believing we're a bunch of
amateur rowdies.
