So you still have another 7 hours to cast your ballots! But no more! We've had a pretty good turnout already -- let's make it an even better one.

This is a major upgrade from CZ 1.13.2 to CZ 1.16.2. The latter has been running on the test wiki for the last 2 months. However, the test wiki has not received significant traffic. So, while tech staff does not anticipate any problems with the upgrade, only time will tell. Tech staff will closely monitor live wiki behavior and error reporting channels for several days subsequent to the upgrade to ensure any issues are handled expeditiously. All wikis will be down for between 1 and 2 hours during the upgrade. </pre> dan nessett 2011-04-25T19:42:05 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.citizendium.general/1544 <pre>The Alphabet Article Drive will run from Friday 11th March and Thursday 18th March, and everyone is free to join in! Sign up at http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/User:Chris_Key/Sandbox/Alphabet_Article_Drive In the past couple of months edits at Citizendium have severely declined. We all spend a lot of time talking, and not a lot of time writing. The result: the Alphabet Article Drive - a way to try to get everyone back into doing a bit of writing, and hopefully have a bit of fun on the way. It's as easy as ABC... The drive will run between Friday 11th March and Thursday 18th March, however you can sign-up before this time. To sign-up simple claim a letter of the alphabet by adding your name to the list on http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/User:Chris_Key/Sandbox/Alphabet_Article_Drive. Only one person can claim each letter, unless we run out of letters in which case we shall go through the alphabet twice.

The last time I tried to do this, the database server crashed. We believe we have found the problem and the database server should not crash on this attempt. However, it is not completely certain that we have identified why the server crashed the last time, so I will be keeping a very close eye on the load as it proceeds. Since a database load stresses the I/O system on the database server, users may notice sluggish performance during the load. That is normal and should last no more than a few hours.
