In order to optimize the communication of small downtimes or degraded service periods, we have setup a "status" page that will list the current known issues on the CÉCI infrastructure. Users are invited to refer to that page in case they face some issue on the infrastructure. This page will allow reducing the number of emails sent to the mailing list when the message is not relevant for all CÉCI users.

The link is in the top banner of the website, between "Documentation" and "Support".
