Hmm... OK, I can't find a proper place to e-mail this... so here's my e-mail pasted here. Revert at will, but I'd think having a pointer on where to report emergencies should be somewhere on wp.wikidev.net. Message:

Subject: FYI: Disk space on yongle critical

Hi. As Wikipedia has slowed to a crawl since being slashdotted (and finally having MySQL connection issues), I've been watching the Ganglia. I know that people must be working on things, but just in case you didn't see it...it appears that yongle is quickly running out of disk space:

Also, it appears to be having other interesting statistical anomalies today (mem_*, bytes_out).

HTH,

P.S. I tried to find an "admin@wikipedia.org" or similar address - but this is the best I could find. Apologies if it is incorrect.

Before I forget about it, thought I'd jot it down: the wprc IRC bot produces broken URLs for pages that include a slash in the title (like User:Brion/Tilde bug). It uses %2F, which for some reason results in 404 errors o' death. -- Brion 05:22, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Larousse

Will Larousse and its predeccessor be kept in storage? I know the first server Google was on is in some computer museum now, I'm sure we could find an archival home for our history. -- user:zanimum
