Thanks for your concerns!... we were slashdotted in August, and our servers went down then (it was a 1 CPU machine). Now the server uses memcached and squid, and it is an 8 CPU machine. Also, the campus is making us go down via power cuts (they are replacing some feeds somewhere), so in a sense, why also not go down due to Slashdotting, which is more honor and more fun? :-)
So perhaps I should announce on wikien-l ?

Not sure of Luca's timezone, but I would certainly stay away from announcing to wikien-l at the moment -- doubt it can handle a slashdotting, and something like this would be dugg and reddited as well. Before we announce it to wikien-l we can probably arrange for a dedicated server and some extra caching measures.
