April 30

A Low Saxon Wikipedia has been erected at http://za.wikipedia.com It should be moved to http://pd.wikipedia.com since that is the right place, but currently unavailable.

A new database server for Wikipedia will be set up on Friday/Saturday, May 2/3, which should reduce general sluggishness and allow for nice things like search to work again. Expect downtime while things are reconfigured...
