Hello,
why is www.mess.org showing the Apache default page instead of the project's home? Is the server having problems?
Thanks

The server died, there were no backups, it was a total loss. Duke is working on bringing it back.

Some of the data could be restored manually using archive.org

archive.org last scanned it in July of 2011, which is approximately forever ago in terms of what we did with the wiki. So no, it can't smile

It may be worthwhile to try to load as much as possible from the Google cache. I was able to retrieve all my pages that I edited in the last 6 months.

Just use "site:mess.org" in the search field. On the right side you get the cache display and a link to the file in the cache.

The artwork zip files (Vectrex overlays etc.) have gone. I cannot find them with the Wayback machine either frown

Any mirrors?

I thought all the MESS required artwork was in SVN?

Not at all, some is missing included the Vectrex overlays.

PS: The missing artworks are not really required to run the driver(s) but it is a nice to have.
For the chess computer, pocket computer or calculators are artworks more important.
