Can you create an apt function which notifies when the site is in maintenance mode? Thanks

    When the site is actually feeding pages, I return either 98 (service unavailable) or 99 (read-only mode), but when our network or load balancers are down for maintenance there isn't anything I can really do.

    I see how having a widget that would be thumb.gif when uploads can happen and ne_nau.gif when service is in read-only mode would help. Perhaps another icon when service isn't even able to offer read mode :cry

    Then when you want to know if uploads are going as planned the widget will be a first indicator.
