Given that most evolters now know that weo is down until Monday, I'd
suggest not busting a gut over it. For US people, it's a holiday
weekend. For the rest of us, it's still a weekend.

At most, maybe throw up a static page on teo if that doesn't have DNS
dependencies to let casual visitors know.

Cheers
