+#### (!) [[How to edit this wiki|wiki/start]]
 """]]
 
-Welcome to the NetBSD wiki! Only NetBSD developers can
-edit. Anyone can read; when there's enough useful content and
-we've completed enough [[wiki/todo]] items, we'll
-make a public announcement.
+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 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.
