[OpenSPIM] Wiki read-only for a while

[Curtis Rueden]

Hi all,

We resolved the issue with mails not being sent, as well as the twitter
feed ;-)

However, now we are going to upgrade the web server to the latest version
of Ubuntu. So there may be a small amount of downtime in a short while. We
will email again if there is any reason for continuing concern. Otherwise,
assume all is well!

Regards,
Curtis
