smalltalk.gnu.org is down

Hello Smalltalk community,

I'm Andrew, a sysadmin at the FSF. Someone brought smalltalk.gnu.org to
our attention, and it looks like the site's currently down. If you know
who manages this site, could you please let them know?

Thanks, : )
Andrew

I added you to a RT ticket with the GNU sysadmin. tl;dr: We will move to
a static page and wait for DNS records to be changed.

It's now April. I take it that GNU Smalltalk is being abandoned.

All you have to is for you all to get out there and stir the pot a bit to
wake up whoever is sleeping at the wheel.

Not abandoned. Let me chase the GNU sysadmins to be able to point this to a static page. Now that there is interest. Anyone of you can help to create a static site? :)

It is good decision to go static.

There are many static site builders out there. I personally have used
Nikola before and like it, and I've also heard good review with Jekyll.

i can "web-dev" - i have the best "static-site-builder" of all:
a text editor :)

archive.org has some of the data - probably not all though
https://web.archive.org/web/20191108204054/http://smalltalk.gnu.org/

it was more than a simple website though - there was an issue
tracker, a wiki, a news feed "blog", and so on - the obvious
question is: "who has the original data now?" - i.e. can it be
replicated, or is this starting from zero?
