-Welcome to the official 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.
 
-As we are in a phase of transition from the older wiki.netbsd.se to
-the new and official wiki.netbsd.org wiki, content editing is currently
-restricted to NetBSD developers.  
+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.
