→May 23, 2007: Minor clarifications...
OrthodoxWiki has been migrated to a new server -- a speedy semi-dedicated box provided gratis by [http://orthodoxinternet.com Orthodox Internet Services]. This should improve performance quite a bit, and eliminate some of the persistent database connection issues we've been having, as well as give us a lot of space to grow and allowing us to do some cool things with our root access.
There are a lot of changes already in place. Things are now more "clustered" - each localized wiki uses shares the same settings files, interwiki links, extensions, and main scripts. We've also moved to a new globally distributed [[w:Anycast|anycast]] DNS system, which means quicker and more robust domain name resolution around the globe.
All sites have been upgraded to MediaWiki 1.10, and most of the databases are now fully unicode/UTF-8 (the rest will hopefully follow soon). In the interest of internationalization, "OrthodoxWiki.org" will still work for this site, but it's official name and internal URL will be "en.OrthodoxWiki.org"—it will remain, for the moment, the master site for user logins—if you have an account at EN, you will be able to use it on any sister site (except for BG at the moment).
