Does anyone know the status of www.list.org? I have been unable to get a ping response or a response from port 80 for a day or two now?

Barry told me a couple of days ago that the machine was down for 

repairs, but that it should be coming back up later that day. I asked him if he thought an announcement should be made to the lists, and he said that there are two other operational mirrors for that content, and that an announcement shouldn't be necessary.

Since then, I have tried to leave it up to Barry to make the 

announcement, but I guess that hasn't happened. I have mentioned the issue in passing on a couple of posts, but haven't said anything else up until now.

Meanwhile, I point people at 

<http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/> instead of <http://www.list.org/>.

Note that the FAQ Wizard is not affected, nor are the mailing 

lists or archives, since they are hosted at python.org. Only the stuff at list.org is unavailable, although it is mirrored elsewhere.
