Hi Everyone,

As announced previously we're commencing the Pootle migration today, 8 June
2015.

Just to make sure that nobody is caught in the middle of this I'm going to
leave the old server online until 1400UTC, that is about 2 hours time.
After which I will take the server offline so that nobody is able to work
on thus ensuring that nobody loses any work.

Please block out 2-3 days for this migration, though we expect it may be
quicker (the database migrations themselves take about 18-24 hours to
complete). After this we will open the server for active work. The old
server will remain on standby in case we have to revert.

Thanks for your patience. We'll see you at the other side.

Thanks Dwayne for all your work on this :slight_smile: I've prepared an update to
the guide that I'll add to the wiki tomorrow.

Hi Dwayne/All,

trying to login.

Dwayne just told us that they hit a migration issue with the
suggestions. They are fixing it but they will need to restart from
scratch because the risk is to end with a database in a bad state
otherwise.
So unfortunately that will take more time than expected. I'll keep you
informed as soon as there is more information.

Really sorry for the inconvenience
Cheers
Sophie
