So long Pilot…Hello EN!
“It’s 22 miles to Chicago, we have a full case of Pepsi, 3 out of 5 servers, It’s cloudy and I’m wearing pants. Hit it.” - Parodic Blues Brothers Quote.
en.citizendium.org now is handling all former pilot.citizendium.org traffic. No edits were lost in the brief transition. en is temporaily handling the entire database as we transition pilot into a dedicated database server role. Even though en is a quarter the power pilot is, en can handle more traffic than pilot.A lot of performance optimizations are on…most noticably caching. If there are any problems with page rendering, please report by email to bugs@
With the main wiki transferred, a lot of background work goes into place moving other parts of the site to other boxes. 2 ordered servers still are on the way. Other services must be juggled to other boxes so pilot can be reimaged clean.

Oh, edits were lost alright. All of my highly entertaining “testing” on the en server got dumped straight to /dev/null

The new desin is real good. Simple, harmonious, elegant.
