Greetings,
As you may know, we have been busy deploying all the new servers
donated by Google, IBM and Intel[1]. So far we've addressed our core
web services (www.eclipse.org, bugzilla, wiki) and our NFS servers, and
we're in the process of deploying additional build hardware.
This weekend, we'll be moving our database servers to their new
counterparts. In short, Bugzilla, Wiki and other parts of our
website will be read-only or unavailable for approximately 1
hour....
Sunday, May 23 2010 at 7:00am Eastern Time
The new database servers, with dual quad-core Xeon 5540 CPUs and 48G of
RAM will greatly improve SQL performance and scalability for all our
sites; most notably, Bugzilla searches, Wiki and download
statistics[2]. This summer, after Helios has shipped, we will focus on
deploying powerful new hardware for dev.eclipse.org and git.eclipse.org
to accelerate access to your favourite (or not) SCM.
I hope the hardware migrations have been painless for you so far. At
the very least, I hope the incremental performance gains you're
experiencing make the pain tolerable :-)

time in years.
