I'm afraid that MySQL ate itself!!  Most of the wiki database pages were
bad, and the backups had been failing since June 28th.  I had to reload
the database as of the backup made on June 27th.  I'm afraid that all
changes that have been made to the wiki since Jun 27 03:22 US/EDT have
been lost.  This includes new pages, changes to pages, new users, etc.

I appologize for the inconvenience, but I couldn't fix the mysql databases
no matter what magic mysql check and repair commands I tried.

I'm sorry.

HOWEVER, it should now be working correctly, so you shouldn't have any
issues.  If you do, please let me know.

Luckily we found this before we lost the last good backup!!  (Backups only
stick around for a week).
