[Sw-l] SignWriting servers are down

[Adam Frost]

That’s no fun!

At least you were able to get SignBank and SignPuddle up and running again.

Not good news about the SignWriting flagship server. I take it that means that FrostVillage.com <http://frostvillage.com/> is also down as a result. (My students won’t be too thrilled about that as they use it to be able to watch videos in their assignments.)

Any idea of the timeframe it will be to get it up and running again? I ask so I know how much of a work-around I need to do for my students.

SignWriting.org , SignBank.org, and the other signwriting sites need to taken offline to fix the issue.  I will get them back up as soon as possible, but I'm not sure of the extent of the issue yet.
