ADMIN: Onelist Upgrades

From: John I Jones <jijones@ix.netcom.com>

Thought you all would like to have a "Heads Up" on the upgrades that are
coming. I received this from Onelist today.

> We are continuing the system-wide upgrade of ONElist. Earlier this
> week we completed upgrades that doubled our email delivery capacity.
> Email should no longer be delayed before delivery. In about two weeks 
> we will be doubling email capacity again to ensure that we have
> plenty of room to grow.
> 
> Next up on the upgrade schedule is the ONElist web site. The first
> upgrade to that will occur late next week. Another upgrade will occur
> about a week after that. That will signal the completion of the
> upgrades. These two upgrades will require service interruptions; we
> will send out notices detailing this as the time approaches.
> 
> We thank you for your patience during our upgrades. We know there have
> been a few glitches, an unfortunate side-effect of large system
> changes like this.
> 
> For the curious, our upgrades mean that ONElist is now a distributed,
> scalable system. Which is tech speak meaning that we will be able to 
> increase our capacity easily in the future. We are using a Sun 
> Microsystems Enterprise Server, a redundant fault-tolerant disk array, 
> an Oracle database system, and several other high power workstations.
