[Box Backup] HEADSUP: Website/wiki/subversion downtime this weekend

[James O'Gorman]

Hi all,

Unfortunately due to a delay with the courier the new server isn't arriving until next week now. There will still be a period of downtime between 2200 GMT and 0500 GMT while the existing server is moved to the new datacentre.
