Recent Orain Updates
Greetings all,

A lot has happened quite recently (I mean a lot), for those not actively involved in our IRC channel (#orain on freenode), here is a brief update of what has happened recently.


 * Upgrades
 * Orain updated to the latest stable release of MediaWiki, 1.23.
 * All extensions which have updates for 1.23 have also been updated.
 * We've moved over to MediaWiki 1.23's json style for i18n.
 * Downtimes
 * We have experienced a few downtimes over the past month. These include service failures (10 minutes in total), upgrade issues (5 minutes total) and issues with our host (15 hours).
 * We have looked into all downtimes and put into place methods we can use to prevent these reoccurring again.
 * New Stuff
 * After a few downtimes, we introduced Nagios to our infrastructure. Nagios can be viewed by any user on prod1.
 * We also introduced an IRC RC bot. All RC feeds on public Orain wikis are now sent to #Orain-feed on JDNet (irc.jasperswebsite.com). Users can join the channel manually as well as introducing bots to the channel.
 * We now have a twitter account! Follow us

We know the past two months have been rough with a few matters which have been occurring internally with our staff but we are working to resolve all issues which we are aware of as soon as possible. I thank you for your patience and I hope we can continue to work together to build an awesome wiki farm! Also, Orain will be 1 year old on July 12th 2014.

Thanks, on behalf of all Orain staff, John (talk) 21:21, 12 June 2014 (BST)
