[SOLVED] what happened to lxde.org?

Hmm..Now you can call this a big co-incidence. I decided to start using LXDE since yesterday and when I tried to access LXDE website for some documentation it was down all day yesterday and even today.

Is this how it is suppose to be?

I cannot ping it.

Whois says that the domain name is still good, but nslookup does not find it. Looks like it might have been pulled.

The whois results has e-mail contacts if you want to track them down.

The reason I am a bit worried is what if the project LXDE is being pulled out completely. I don't want to spend days learning something which is not going to be there in near future. Also AFAIU, there has not been an official stable version of LXDE?

Looks like a DNS issue.

The sourceforge site shows commits from yesterday, so I don't think the project is dead.
