Hi Pavel (and all),

the webserver including the svn repos is back online. Sorry for the delay=
, but I don't check the various mailing lists on a regular basis. Threfor=
e it's better to send me a personal mail if there's any issue with the se=
rver.

I recently moved a copy of the comlete repos, including the full history,=
 to sf.net. My intention is to keep the repos - and in a next step also t=
he website - there, so that I may be able to shut our server down at some=
 point.

Is your github fork meant to be a permanent institution? If so, I'd vote =
to point people there by default, and keep the svn repos for history only=
. Please let me know what you think.

Bye, Mike
