Subject: [IMPORTANT] RootsWeb Upgrading to New Servers
Beginning Monday, 10 June 2002, RootsWeb will begin the complex and
time-consuming process of upgrading our servers to new hardware.
o What does this mean for you? Well, it means some servers will be
unavailable during this time and we are asking for your patience.
For up-to-date information about the different resources, you can visit
http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ as the move progresses.
o Web Pages: FTP will be down so that changes can't be made to pages until
everything is working correctly on the new servers. There will be a short
time that the pages will not be available as the transfer takes place.
o List Administrators: When the time comes to move list servers, we will be
halting operation on the machine to complete the move. We expect to have the
machines down the least amount of time possible. No mail will be sent from
or posted to your mailing lists. We do not expect to lose any messages.
o Board Administrators: Nothing, unless your board happens to be gatewayed
to a mailing list then the information for list administrators apply.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we go through a few
"growing pains."
