"Feb. 28, 2008. OpenWetWare.org sustained a database failure on Feb.
28, but is back online. We're deeply sorry for any inconvenience this
may have caused. We'll update the community on what we've done to
recover and add more reliability to our procedures and infrastructure.
Documents edited or created in www.OpenWetWare.org on Feb 28 between
4:00 AM EST to 7:00 PM EST will need to be updated or re-entered."

So, it's never ideal to work on master-slave replication *after* a
database failure but there's no time like the present.    There's a
bunch of talented freelance admins around the Church lab that could
help with this.  And we have the bandwidth/infrastructure too.

How can we help?
