Hello,

As we have removed our bookmarks facility from the site, we have created data dumps for folks that had bookmarks for projects on our site.

Users that have shell accounts and that had bookmarks, can find their data in this path via the shell or SFTP/SCP:

/home/users/U/US/USERNAME/sf_bookmarks.html

This is importable to your browser.

Users who do not have a shell account but have bookmarks can get these via submitting a support ticket. We will add the dump file as an attachment to the ticket.

Cheers!

Greetings,

We will be taking the mailing list archive view offline while we perform some database maintenance. Earlier this morning we noted some performance issues with the database server, and are in the process of performing some much-needed maintenance on the database. No ETA at the moment for return of service.

Thanks!

As per our previous notice for the removal of DocMan and Task Manager, this work was completed today.

If you had data in either of these facilities, you may log a support ticket with us to request this data be migrated to one of our Hosted Apps facilities.

Users may also find a dump of this data in their project home directory (/home/groups/P/PR/PROJECT – where “PROJECT” represents the project UNIX name) for use in an off-site facility if so desired.

Cheers!

The download  statistics have been repaired and are currently displaying download counts. We have back-filled historical data and new downloads are being counted.There are some small historical gaps that are in the process of being back-filled. This will be completed shortly.

There is some small amount of lag in new download data being posted. Download data is being collected and posted with a small time lag.

We have pushed out a minor upgrade to the Wordpress Hosted Application offering. This upgrades from version 2.8.1 to 2.8.4 to address a few security issues. The release information for the covered versions can be found at http://wordpress.org/development/category/releases/.

As you are likely aware, the stats system has been down an awful lot lately. This is because of several outages that have caused the system to get further and further behind, hindering the process completing.

As of this writing, stats is about a day and a half  behind. Stats was also unable to capture events when we cut over to the new FRS filesystem. These events cover 2009-07-22 through 2009-08-02. We are working to restore this data from the log files and feed it back into the stats system.

Lastly, there is an additional hole in web stats from a brief period where stats weren’t properly captured, which we are regenerating and will backfill as soon as possible.

Your continued patience is appreciated as we work through these issues.
