from the look-scheduled-downtime-what-a-novelty dept.
We need to do some maintenance operations on both the webserver and database servers. We expect that we're going to have to offline mysql for awhile, and as such the site will be down while the database is. We expect the work to be approximately 15-20 minutes, but scheduling a full hour in case something goes wrong.
During this period, IRC, as well the wiki will remain up as they're on separate boxes, so you can reach us there. We'll post news to the wiki if for whatever reason we remain down for more than an hour.
Sorry about any inconvenience

Agreed. I might also suggest that a topic of this nature might benefit from being "stickied" at the top of the front page until the downtime occurs so that people loading up close to the appointed time aren't caught off guard before they scroll down far enough.
