I am scheduling a downtime for etherpad.wikimedia.org on Monday 30/09/2013 in order to upgrade it to the latest released version. The downtime is scheduled to last one (1) hour and will start in 09:00 UTC. We will be upgrading from 1.0 (released 2 years ago) to 1.2.11 (released 3 months ago). Package has already been created and will be made available on apt.wikimedia.org during the upgrade. Hopefully a lot of the bugs we have witnessed that cause problems in etherpad.wikimedia.org will be resolved.

Thanks, Alex!

What should I do if a number of etherpads seem to be completely gone? Can someone click on any of the pad links on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Conference_2013/Schedule/Saturday and tell me if they are able to see some content? Thanks.

Hello Federico,
Some (but not all) of the etherpad links you provided do not have any content. There are two ways to proceed.
If they are new enough (after 2013-08-19) it might be a bug in etherpad-lite. In that case we should wait for the upgrade, try to reproduce and fill a bug report to the authors of the software. I am afraid the content of the pad is probably lost.
If they are old enough (before 2013-08-19), there probably was a problem with the migration from the old etherpad to the new one. The scripts provided by the authors to do the migration were buggy enough to justify such a problem. We did have to copy some pads manually, however the ones you list were not among them. In that case it is still possible to recover the content of the pad from the old etherpad installation (we have kept it around). All you need to do is access it via http://etherpad-old.wikimedia.org instead of http://etherpad.wikimedia.org
