I'm sorry for the problem I caused today. I was preparing to move to a new
server and pre-installed a new version of the Google Analytics extension
that will provide more detailed information about visitors to the site.

I missed commenting out a line that then tried to call into a function that
didn't exists. Hence the ugly white page.

The new server will be made available to us (tentatively) by Rackspace, our
hosting service, by the end of next week. We've had so many delays on
getting access to this server that "tentatively" is the best I can do for
predicting an exact date. We'll have 2 weeks to move the server over to a
new RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 box. The migrations will take place over the
next weekend following our getting access to the server.

I wish MediaWiki was a bit more tolerant of misfiring extensions but that's
life.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience. Have a good weekend!
