I would particularly like to understand why that time/day was chosen and what process is used for announcements/notifications. There are many people who were obviously affected by this upgrade (like me) who were completely unaware of it. Some of those people got notifications after the fact (like me) while most of them have no idea what happened. They just wanted to get information from <a href="http://support.laptop.org">http://support.laptop.org</a> and found it wasn’t there.<BR>
<BR>
The “discussion” at the sysadmin meeting said very little; I thought you were having a discussion about it yesterday, not installing anything. I was IN that meeting (and paying attention, and have re-read the transcript) and was completely unaware that wiki.laptop.org would be offline on Wednesday evening.<BR>

P.S. I removed devel from the cc list and added techteam as most of the folks on devel aren’t involved in IT support issues.<BR>

This was discussed in the Tuesday sysadmin IRC meeting.<BR>

We have had numerous requests for these enhanced features such as <a href="http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23067">http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23067</a><BR>

What was done is documented at the machine:pedal page on internal (once it is up again).<BR>

I will explain this in more detail once the issue with swan is resolved.<BR>

It was offline for approximately 45 minutes (and it was mostly due to<BR>
a weird problem that took a while to figure out).<BR>
<BR>
The main motivation for the upgrade was installing OpenID to enable<BR>
single-sign-on across all the web applications. Secondarily, it's<BR>
always safer to keep web applications up to date. I also did a few<BR>
cleanups to ensure the next updates will be a little easier.<BR>
