As you may have noticed we’ve been witnessing several problems with our website since last Sunday 3 a.m. CET. In the next hours we’re starting working on some major maintenance to the Arduino website: tomorrow Thursday 21st of February, around 3 p.m. CET until Friday 22nd of February 2013 same time.
