Does anyone here know anything useful about what happened to
thinkwiki.org? I was looking around there and noticed that many of my
edits were missing. Then I tried to edit something and got this message:

Warning: The database has been locked for maintenance, so you will not be
able to save your edits right now. You may wish to cut-n-paste the text
into a text file and save it for later.
The administrator who locked it offered this explanation: ThinkWiki is
recovering from a crash with massive data loss. Editing will be re-opened
when the missing files are recovered!
