Line 1:	Line 1:
- As part of our Excelsior 2008 Campaign for Further Greatness, a new RocWiki server is being built and tested. This is running the latest Sycamore software, which should have everything we already have and probably more. There's also some back-end improvements (more RAM, more bandwidth, OS upgrade, memcached, etc). - - What it needs now is testing. It is currently running a database dump from May 6th, so don't expect anything created on the production Wiki to exist over there (including this page ;-), but it does mean you can edit and try to break stuff without worrying too much. - - The new site is located HERE: [http://www-new.rocwiki.org/] - - With luck, I'm hoping to do the final migration in about a week. If you notice something broken, please note it in the to-do list below, and/or e-mail rtucker@gmail.com . --["RyanTucker"] - - NOTE: Barring any problems, I'm probably going to fling this monkey over on Monday morning. Woooo. --["RyanTucker"]	+ We are now live on a new server! This is a virtual server hosted by [http://www.linode.com/ Linode] in Atlanta, Georgia, which ought to provide ample capacity for future growth.
