More shuffling of servers.
Note that some of the DNS entries are no longer in sync with the internal names of the machines. (gurrrgle!) Hopefully we'll get that fixed up.
Web: * ursula (130.94.122.203) -- serving all web but en and foundation [as 130.94.122.197], and also mail * pliny (168.143.185.150) -- serving just en and foundation [as 130.94.122.199]
Database: * gunther (168.143.185.149) -- master db server * susan (168.143.185.147) -- backup dumps, and by tonight database slave
Idle: * larousse (168.143.185.151) -- Perhaps we could move the mail server here? * geoffrin (130.94.122.204) -- given the weird memory problems we were getting, I'm not willing to put this machine back in production use until it's been replaced by Penguin. :(
Folks with login accounts; things are a little screwy. Home directories from pliny are now stashed on ursula and accounts need to be set back up. Larousse should still be accessible, but on the other IP.
Jason: we may want to think about fixing up the DNS entries to point sensibly at things. :) If we move the mail server, mail.wikipedia.org will need to be changed to match. Also, please double-check that the IP I chose for larousse doesn't conflict with anything.

Sounds good, thanks. What's up with uploading to 'de'?
Is it possible to make images uploaded to 'en' visible on other WPs? How? Thus far I wasn't able to display 'de' picture on 'en' inline. I tried something as follows:
[[w:de:Bild:Nuernberg-burg-mitteltrakt-v-sw-unten-klein.jpg]]

Oops, that should have gotten re-enabled after the servers were in place.... Back now.

Sorry, that doesn't work so far...
The Big Master Plan is to set up a central shared image handling system of some sorts. I dunno if that'll happen in a timely fashion, though.

do you need any help with this? I'm sure there's a few of us that would be glad to help out so all the work doesn't fall on your shoulders.
Cheers, Ivan

I would love to see something like this. There is some discussion about this on
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiImages.org
Hopefully someone starts with coding soon :-)
best regards, Marco

+1 and please go for the simple solution - english (or "original") +filenames are perfectly fine. Descriptions could and should be +translated - just add a subsection for every new translation:
== Italian desc. / descrizione italiana == ... == French desc. / description françoise == ... == German desc. / deutsche Beschreibung == ...
In case there are too many just create a subpage.
Don't worry to about outdated descriptions - most of the time descriptions are very sparse, though.
