I’m one of the original cohort of people who helped OHM get going. No longer involved obviously. I’ve been watching this from the sidelines for what seems like several years and find this all bizarre. There’s a group of people who want to figure stuff out. There’s no way to know how to help on any level.
Seems like you all need to start over with new infrastructure. The one thing is for whoever has backups of the data to just make them available so others can give it a try. Please make the data available. Ideally database backups. Is there even a planet file available??

Perhaps with a little more detail, the large part of the community that has goodwill and wants to help could understand what they could do or why they couldn't. Also, given that it is a community project, who exactly in the community has access to the data? I'm sure you appreciate the interest in transparency. Again, your efforts are appreciated. I know I'm grateful the server is back up and running.

In this case, "goodwill" was working remotely with kids home for school and a spouse working double shifts at the hospital. I could only ask him politely for help and wait. You'll remember Topomancy's previous hosting arrangements, the raid controller dying, the subsequent data loss and the heroic recovery of the planet file. That's life. I understand that you have now ported the DNS, feel free to changeover. -rhw > The recent situation has raised doubts about the current hosting of OHM, and > discussions off list with many members of this > community in the past few > months have made made me concerned about the stewardship of this project. > As one of the founders of OHM, owner of the domain name, and a practising > historian, I look forward to resolving these > problems and limitations, with help from Jeff and others.
