There will be an outage of confluence starting on Jan 28 2009 (Wednesday) at 6pm and lasting for approximately 2 hours. During this outage confluence will be upgraded to version 2.10.1, and the MySQL database will be migrated to a new server. This version of confluence fixes the long standing bug which forces people to frequently re-enter their username and password, and also introduces a cleaner easier-to-navigate web interface.
If you would like to check that your pages work correctly under the new version of confluence please try:

(only accessible from within SLAC, or with VPN enabled). Note that any edits made on the "confluence-new" site prior to the upgrade will be lost.
