As requested some news from the front line.

Firstly, as the people who create Pootle and are passionate about
localisation, our apologies for this downtime.

The TDF server itself is large, certainly the largest instance we have
seen.  This has brought it into a data realm that needed some new
approaches to migrations.

The Pootle team has been working hard to get the LO Pootle server
operational again, working closely with the LO team at both a code and ops
level.

So again we apologise for the downtime.  We expect the new server to be
faster.

Once the dust has cleared we will debrief with the LO ops and work out a
plan that will limit future downtime.

I hope that my next email will point to the live server.
