Default DIY FAQ & Wiki - hosting migration

Hi all,

As some of you will remember, I currently host the DIY FAQ and Wiki. The
server they are currently on needs to undergo some maintenance, and as
such I need to migrate both sites to a new server.

The FAQ is easy - it's small, and takes no time at all.

The Wiki is a monster - the database alone is over 400Mb, plus another
few hundred Mb in image files.

I'd like to get the migration done this weekend. To this end, I request
that no changes are made to the sites (including adding/editing Wiki
content) from tonight until Monday night. Any changes made will be lost!

I've emailed Phil about this, and he's ready to repoint the domains as
soon as I'm done.

I hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone, and expect normal service to
be resumed shortly. No site downtime is anticipated. I will post a
notice on this thread once the migration is complete.
