Hi everyone,
it's my honor to announce we have gone LIVE.!
DNS has been switched to point to WMF Loadbalancers earlier this morning (PST). That was the big switch.
Since then several smaller and larger (like Roland's account, Interwiki links / maps, ..) issues on the wikis have been sorted out by a little bit larger group of people and new bugs have been reported on Bugzilla and acte upon.
One issue that kept us from announcing the switch earlier was that at first the generation of the "portal page "(www.) was broken, and had to be adjusted to the way those pages are generated on wmf projects.
You can now login and edit. :)
You can also report bugs of course.:)
Enjoy the new wikis!
For the technically inclined, you can see in detail what we are doing in places like:
http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/SAL https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/project:operations/apache-config,n,z
..and of course on IRC.
Expect another official announcement mail (most likely from Erik) later,
P.S. (Before the DNS switch we lowered the TTL to 6 minutes in case we had to go back, just now i raised that back to the regular 1h and therefore declaring the switch period over for now )
P.S 2. Thank you all, especially Reedy and Chris for a ton of "really rapid prototyping" on Apache and WMF configs right after switching:)
Best regards,
Daniel
