It's still dead.
Next step: can we build a redundant slave server that can mirror the Swiki and take over the IP address if a heartbeat from the primary server fails -- now THAT would be something. Indeed, perhaps we can arrange for it to do reasonable load-balancing in the interim?
There could be a read-only mirror (for example at the european gsug.org site): Each time a page is modified in the master swiki, a rendered version of it could be uploaded to a special directory, an email notification about the changed page would be sent to the mirror, it would fetch the page. While rendering, the "special links" like edit, upload, history etc. should point to the master swiki, while all others should be relative. So if the master goes down, reading would still be possible.
I maintain a read only mirror of a swiki.net swiki on a unix server, and would love to automate the mirror process. I'd be glad to share what I know about mirroring swikis to the effort. Some of the techniques I use may be peculiar to the swiki.net swiki implementation, but there's usually more than one way to skin a cat.
