+If you're here because [wiki.netbsd.se](http://wiki.netbsd.se/) is
+about to 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. Please bear with us until we're ready for you.
