Hello,

We experienced a server crash on Sunday March 9, which brought down
WormBase for a period of several hours.  The primary suspect for the
crash is an intermittent hardware problem that we have been attempting
to track down for the past several weeks.  Since the database was
already down, we took the opportunity to swap in a replacement
motherboard for the server machine, in effect performing a "brain
transplant."  If the problem persists, we will be replacing the server
entirely during the third week of March.  You will be advised of any
scheduled downtime.

My apologies for any inconvenience Sunday's outage might have caused.

Lincoln Stein
