A full system update has been completed, new and faster hardware is now running Xen 6 virtualization host and the biowikifarm virtual machine is a Debian 6. Previously we had an old kernel specially compiled for Xen, which could no longer be upgrade, so that a complete reinstall was necessary. Some long-standing problems could be improved on the way, but it also took longer than expected. All Wikis, subversion repository, system tools, and Django apps are running again, job and backup completely newly set up, and many more. The Fedora/Tomcat system will follow soon. This is a big achievement of a team consisting of three organisations (JKI, BGBM, SNSB) as well as biowikifarm contributors. This was a true collaborative effort for which I want to thank all!

Problem: SMW formats values with type URL as http:////www... , i.e. with four slashes! Firefox/Chrome ignore this, but older browsers don't. Attemt to fix this with minor Mediawiki software updates: Old version: MediaWiki 1.18.1 (r108898), Semantic MediaWiki (Version 1.6.2) (r102570), Semantic Result Formats (Version 1.6.2) (r102570).
