[OT] Unable to access PostgreSQL mailing list archive

It's by now a couple of weeks that I'm getting the warning:
_The database is temporarily down. Please try later!_
whenever I try to connect to PG archive (MailWare: FTS engine).
May be something changed lately?
Regards,
    Ennio.

The FTS search engine has been broken since we had the big server crash
several months ago.  Dunno what the holdup is in getting it going again.
I miss it too.

Many thanks to you, Oleg, and Tom Lane for anwering my post.
May I ask how could one know if and when a new engine is set to work?
(I mean: is there any particular site to watch?).

    Ennio.

We miss it too :) The only thing we need to have moderate server which
could be controlled by us. We did a lot of improvements in FTS engine
and would be happy to setup mailware. Also, we have another search engine
which could be used to crawl/search postgresql related sites. I think
we could setup it too.

I'm not sure what the hold up is either ... Oleg?  Everything, based on
~robot/PGSQL_MODULES was setup modules, and an email was sent to Teodor
letting him know, months ago (back in July), and I was never informed of
anything that was still required ...
