Tom tells me that a warning that Launchpad is about to be offline is displayed on every page for about 15 minutes before it goes down. I think a longer warning period, say 24 hours, would be much more appropriate. Obviously you want the warning to be visible but not too intrusive when the downtime is still a while off. I have had a few cases where I'm actively using Launchpad, but more than 15 minutes can elapse between web page views. I might be looking at bugs and have preloaded many of them into tabs, or investigating what to do about them. Or, as today, I am uploading to PPAs and only went to the web ui when I wondered what happened to them. I realize there are other avenues where I can find out that it will be down, but I don't look at them until it's actually offline ;-) -- Martin
