Hi Everybody,

This is Kurt Martin. I'm part of the MIPS Customer Engineering team at Wave Computing. Some of you may remember me. I have just established contact with Ralf, and I will be working with him to restore linux-mips.org back to life. I just got the account and login information for the linux-mips.org hosting account at Hetzner from Chris Dearman.

So as Maciej says, please hold off any actions at this time, and I will attempt to get linux-mips.org working again as quickly as possible. Thanks!

Regards,
Kurt

I have been contacted by Ralf a couple of weeks ago and he told me there had been a storage failure with the machine running linux-mips.org.

Due to a complex situation with linux-mips.org I do not want to dive the details of into here recovery of the site caused some trouble, however I was told it had been under way now. So I suggest that we wait a couple of weeks yet and see how it goes before going ahead with this series.

As to Ralf personal commitments WRT maintenance duties I can't speak, but I have bcc-ed him on his alternative e-mail address with this message in case he wants to speak up.
