That web site was a casualty of the break-in on the machine that was
cvs.r-project.org.  We need to move it to another server.

It's back online now at a different site.  There are a few problems
that will be worked out over the next few days:

- DNS isn't working yet, so you need to go to http://66.39.64.254 for
a while.

- Some of the links on the page are broken.  (If anyone knows
corrections, please let me know about them.)

- It will only be updated manually for a while, so things may get a
little stale.

- If anyone used email addresses at developer.r-project.org, those
will no longer forward or be read by anyone.

Thanks!

The CVS log is one casualty; what are the others? The CVS log is
awkward to fix since its functionality depended on having the website
at the cvs repository (and likewise the automagic web update upon
commits). It is still being generated, and there's a web server and
everything at the CVS site, it is just that the rest of the world is
getting firewalled out. Hmm.. perhaps all we need is to commit the log
to R-dev-web when it is modified?

I don't think they were ever official.
