The service Etherpad (https://etherpad.wikimedia.org) might be unreachable during the following maintenance window:
This Thursday, Feb 10th 2022, from 17:00 UTC to 18:30 UTC (9 to 10:30 AM PST).
It will be upgraded to a new version on a new server during this time. We hope the actual downtime will be much shorter than that but you should not count on it.
While existing pads should not be affected by this in any way, please keep in mind that in general this is a service without an SLO supported on a best effort basis.
Best regards,
Daniel
This has happened today.
The scheduled downtime was fully maxed out since we ran into an unexpected issue related to IPv6 at first which has been fixed now.
We are now on the new Etherpad version 1.8.16 and on Debian bullseye.
