Ok, can you wait a few days then while we try and salvage useful
content? In the first case this can be just manual saving of web pages
- I might even have time for that tonight.

Or will the site still be available afterwards (by IP maybe) but no
longer via spread.kde.org? If that is the case, then as far as I'm
concerned the spread.kde.org source of access can be taken away.

Cheers,
Stu - not Carl ;-)
