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
