Updates are coming back for LocalisationUpdate and ProofreadPage extensions, which we tested then pulled Tuesday due to performance problems.
Roan's redone LU to store the message updates in serialized files instead of the database, which we can sync locally to web servers and should perform much better; I'll also do a more gradual test rollout so we can scale it back more gracefully if we have problems again.
ThomasV has fixed up some bad queries in ProofreadPage, and it should be ready to go again; the updated version has much more advanced index support and looks pretty spiffy. :)
And if we've got time between other things, I'll roll out the updated Collection as well -- this makes big improvements to the UI for building a multi-page book, and leaves the sidebar much less cluttered when you're not using it.

ProofreadPage updates have been put live, and aren't killing servers this time. :) Thomas is investigating a reported compat issue with Opera.

Ok, the updated LocalisationUpdate is running on test.wikipedia.org and aa.wikipedia.org; have run one update but haven't set it up as a cron job yet.
Will roll out progressively to more client wikis later while watching the CPU. :)

Ok, we still need to complete automation of update runs for LocalisationUpdate[1], but it seems to be working!
It's not the most glamorous of extensions, but you can see here[2] an updated message ("Den här sidan" where the current deployed message file says "Denna sidan har")!
