code push announcement

[mark]

Code push will be happening Friday, February 5th, 2010 at 2PM PST (2200 UTC). This is an early day push, I know it's somewhat inconvenient for many people, but it's the best time I have available for doing it without waiting until Sunday.

The site (and all functionality such as crossposting, search, importing, etc) will only be unavailable for a few minutes while the update is performed.

The shop (browsing, making payments, etc) will be unavailable for longer: potentially a few hours as we work out any issues with bringing up support for Google Checkout.

As always, I will update our @dreamwidth Twitter account and this community.

Code push shortly.

In a few minutes I'll be updating Dreamwidth to the latest code. The site will be down for just a few minutes while this happens.

The shop will, however, be down longer while we test the changes in the production environment.

As always, please comment to this post if you notice anything terribly wrong. Thank you for your patience!
