Full ACK. That's why I was happy to be able to provide grml.org, the
mailinglists, the wiki, the BTS and develblog on different servers, so
status information and user support is possible in (nearly) any case.

As I had no possibility to check the server myself I could not
provide any public information on my own. ;) But future will bring
enhancements:

ACK

I'll spend money for a new server in the next few weeks at a
differnet provider (just searching for a good offer). Some
www-/rsync-mirrors already exist but I'd like to have a better
system anyway in the future. Expect news in the next few weeks.

Again, sorry for the downtime. I'll give my very best to avoid such
situations in the future - even if I'm on vacation. ;)

regards,
