Liam, no, I really meant projects-old.gnome.org which as I described on my original e-mail was the pre-2013 projects page we had running before transitioning to the new wiki.g.o based projects listing. I believe the future of projects.g.o will vary, certain maintainers are setting up GitLab pages for their project (using Jekyll / Hugo), some others are using the wiki, still. I believe the engagement team was looking into possible new ways to unify projects listing into one single view, not sure what's the status there though.
