I think my question was missed. Probably because I
adressed it to the wrong list.

International people are wondering when the last
english features will be applied to other phase III
wikipedias. Is there anything we should provide you to
help there ?

The original plan was to put all wikis onto the new server _and_ new
software after a few days of testing of the english one. I'm not sure if
we should be putting more pressure on larousse just yet, though... it's
about holding steady (and right now a little under the wheather as it
regenerates new cache files).

If there's no objection, I'll go ahead and upgrade the software for the
remaining phase 3s tonight, while leaving them on pliny.

So long the Wikipedias works it is not important of it is on larousse or
plinty from a user point of view. It seems logical to put the Wikipedia
that gets 80% of all traffic on a different server.

I have no complaints about the working of Wikipedia NL the last weeks.

There are some .com wikipedia's waiting for a long time to be converted to
the fase III version. That is more important instead of making sure all
Wikipedia's are running the most current version.

A question from the plattdüütsche Wikipedia;
Is there a technical problem or not to make the wiki-language code "nds" to
work?
