	Yeah, that was the openprojects.net server crash I was referring to. 
Apparently there were no backups (!!!), so people are having to manually
reconstruct lots of stuff out of /lost+found.  And it was on a striped RAID
server, too.  That does not sound like a fun task....  VA Linux Systems is
not too popular with a lot of people right now, as you can probably imagine. 
Nevertheless, both the GLX and Mesa projects have agreed, after public
apologies by the VA Linux people involved, to let VA continue to host their
CVS, WWW and mailing lists.  As a Mesa developer myself, I am not real happy
with that decision, but Brian (the Mesa project leader) seems to feel
confident that VA will make good on their promise to do things right this 
time.  I certainly hope so.
