The DNS records have been pulled[1] for the devmanual due to a
complaint[2] by it's original author (Ciaran McCreesh) regarding a
violation of it's license.
It is my assumption that it will remain off-line until the complaint is
resolved in a manner that satisfies both parties.
This is just a heads up.
Thanks,

PS:
While a flamewar will probably ensue; this is not the intent of this
mail or of the bug filing. Please keep your unproductive comments
off-list and off the bug. I will lock the bug if it becomes necessary.
This mail and the bug exist to allow transparency for this situation; I
don't want an open field where everyone throws their two cents in just
because they can. Only comment if you have something relevant to say.
PSS: There may be a more recent complaint, I will find out the date
tomorrow. I need to sleep now however and I figured people would be
better off knowing where the devmanual went ;)
