Hi,

As part of moving all servers to a new infrastructure, I have now 
prepared the "main" server, which handles wiki auth, notes management, 
account management, etc.

I need to transfer the data over, and then update DNS. That's a process 
that takes up to 15 minutes (but likely a lot less) in which changes to 
the database on the old machine will not be synched to the database on 
the new server.

The move of main might also cause issues, as obviously there was no 
documentation on how any of this was put together, so please let me and 
systems@php.net know if you notice anything odd, wrong, or not working 
after the move.

I'm intending to make the switch tomorrow morning, at around 11:30 BST.

Let me know if you have any questions.

cheers,
Derick
