They are back in business since a couple of months now - at least
regarding new data appearing there.

That's true: no luck with that for me either since last
summer. Unfortunately the website has no information (that I can find)
who to contact for support or questions - so maybe my emails just went
to the wrong addresses.

Very, very possible (same happened with e.g. the original JCSG
repository with all the originally processed data and a huge amount of
meta-data gone now [1]). In that respect a site like Zeonodo.org
(backed by big players like EC, OpenAIRE, CERN etc) is much more
likely to stay up - or at least have a plan for when something new
replaces it.
Of course, something generic like Zenodo is not dealing just with MX
data and therefore doesn't provide some intrinsic template to show
more than just file downloads. But since (1) all our detectors,
beamlines and inhouse instruments now write perfect, complete and rich
meta-data into the associated image headers (or HDF5 containers), and
(2) we all deposit meta-data rich models and multi-dataset reflection
data with correct information into the PDB, this is much less
important nowadays ... right? ;-)
Cheers
