Hi Sebastian,

You can grab the trads release I downloaded before I patched it
according to my needs:

http://files.cameuh.net/trads-200604071846.tgz

All you can do is check archive.org. That's what I had to do when I recovered a text-only version of the Gorg howto. Had to completely XMLify it from scratch, and do the editing all over again.

Anything else you're looking for should be on archive.org, too -- just use the Wayback Machine link at the top.

So he lost both the domain and the content?

I have no idea.

Content loss is what I implied by mentioning the Wayback Machine. If Xavier has a backup, it's not anywhere on the internet that I've seen. This is it.

The WM's most recent snapshot is from March 2008. Now, I don't *think* the site's been down that long; I recall accessing it more recently in the last two years. Maybe he just blocked the archive.org bots.

Anyway, the stuff I've had to reconstruct is all from that snapshot. Unless other GDP members have anything newer in their devspaces, what you see on the WM is what you get.

Usually it requires up to 18 months (according to official FAQ, IIRC) to publish snapshots. Try this for example: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://google.com/
