-Welcome to the NetBSD wiki!
+If you're here because [wiki.netbsd.se](http://wiki.netbsd.se/) has
+shut down, welcome. Took us by surprise, too; we'd hoped for a
+smooth transition rather than an arbitrary deadline. Alas, it's not
+in the cards. We ask for your patience as we work our way down [[the
+wiki todo list|wiki/todo]] as best we can.
 
-   /!\ Please note this wiki is still under heavy construction.  
-Content editing is currently restricted to NetBSD developers.  
-In the near future, it will also be opened to users.  
+As an official service of The NetBSD Project, you can count on the
+long-term stability of this wiki. We'd love to have your help
+building it. We'll be ready for you soon.
 
-When all the necessary [[wiki/todo]] items are completed, we'll make a public
-announcement.
-<!-- until then... -->
