Twelve hours downtime
by Volker Weber
From my inbox:
The planned upgrade of Lotus Connections for Partners to the Lotus Connections Beta 2 level of code has been rescheduled for tomorrow, June 14th. It will begin approximately at 8am EST. The team will also be doing some routine maintenance on the environment; therefore, we expect the site to be back up by 8pm EST after all associated work has been performed
Upgrade from beta 1 to beta 2. Some routine maintenance. 12 hours.

Lieber tiefstapeln und eine lange Downtime ankuendigen und diese dann spontan zu verkuerzen als umgekehrt.
And if it's not a productive system, probably it hasn't highest priority, so people working on it may be called to more urgent things during the procedure... Possibly...
No reason for bashing, its just beta software and I for myself would reserve some time for some testing in that situation to get as much knowledge as possible from the experience. So for me this extended service time makes absolutely sense to me
Volker, twelve hours downtime is nothing (especially for beta software)—you know that, given recent experience ;o)
