When I load it, it shows the following:
----------------
gfortran.org status

disk crashed again, and yes i did have backups.

the whole story

after the last disk crash i backed up the wiki every night via a cron job that
copied over a tarball to another computer via an nfs mount. this saturday i
decided to upgrade the other computer (the one holding the backups). so, i
backed up my home directory (which had a few years of e-mail, and the wiki
back ups) and put the tarball on the web server. A fresh install of Fedora,
and while copying the tarball of my home directory back from the web server
the "fatal dma error happened". so the wiki backup, and EVERYTHING i have is gone.

my "real job" will be consuming every spare minute for the next 6 months. i
just do not have time to mess with this site, although it seems to be very
valuable to gfortran developers and users.

I am willing to transfer this domain name to someone who can spend more time
administering this site than I can. Or, I am willing to give someone an
account on the current computer system and i will still provide the hardware
and the connection.

if you have a static page you would like displayed, please e-mail it to me

Sounds like Bud had the worst of lucks.

I'd suggest that we put the info that used to be on gfortran.org into the gcc
wiki, and have gfortran.org redirect requests there.  Maintaining gfortran.org
causes too many headaches.
