I seem to remember a thread from back in early August with Craig and
others claiming that they were in the process of transferring over the
Wiki from Sourceforge to MediaWiki. Craig (and maybe others) mentioned
that they had full recent backup copies so the material should still
exist.

So, I guess I am asking whether the maintainer(s) of the Wiki are
aware of the problem and if so is there a solution in progress?

If not, what do we need to do to restore the wiki?

Given the number of FAQ posts that take up a good portion of the
bandwidth of this group, it seems like we would all be served by
having the wiki restored.
