We're getting a new server, and a completely rewritten software (try it out
at http://www.piclab.com/newwiki/wiki.phtml)! Just hang on a little while:)

Subject: [Wikipedia-l] Complete breakdown of wikipedia?


For the first month or so that I was involved with wikipedia, I found it
great fun and very rewarding.  Then the response problems started, and the
enjoyment I get from it has gradually waned until I am now wondering why I
even bother to try and log on.  Today, for example, I have attempted to
access wikipedia at regular intervals and have never managed to get further
than "Recent Changes".  Yesterday was the same.

I realise that the software is maintained on a voluntary basis.  However, if
we can't do any better than this, I think we may as well throw in the towel.
What is the point of an encyclopedia that no one is able to read?
