Quick update.
The DoS has subsided over the weekend. We decided though to move Mozilla
Pootle onto its own server. So we spent the weekend migrating to a new
server for Pootle and are still completing that process. I'm busy at the
moment checking that everything has migrated correctly and that all our
scripts work correctly.
So once we've completed our testing we'll switch the DNS entries across.
Then mozilla.locamotion.org should just start to work again.
Please be patient as we check that all the data has migrated and run
through the various scripts to see that they are still working.
I'll let you know as soon as you can begin translating again.

It will take a little while for mozilla.locamotion.org DNS entries to
propagate, but should be done by the time you read this email.
We don't expect anything to be missing, but if you notice some error then
please let us know.
