[Talk-ca] automated license cleanup

[Richard Weait]

Dear All,

The API Read-Only time is continuing as expected.  Normal Read-Write
operation should be back midday on the 4th as scheduled.  Then we can
get back to editing.

Things of which we should be aware.

The API will come back on the new DB server.  This is awesome.  bigger
/ better, etc.  But as ever, with changes, there might be hiccups.  Be
patient if you run in to problems and check on IRC for the latest
info.

Once the normal API operation is back, automated data cleaning will
commence.  First in smaller test areas, then larger test areas, then
over the rest of the planet.

These background cleaning tasks could cause editing conflicts just as
another mapper would.

While you are editing, please save early and often.  ;-)  This is good
advice generally, but especially so for the next little while.
