WOM documentation site down

I'm doing some development work on the RDFIO extension, which uses WOM. I've tried to access the links from the page to pages in http://wiking.vulcan.com/dev/index.php/Extension:Wiki_Object_Model, and got a message saying the site is having technical difficulties. Do you have any information on when this will be restored and/or if the content is hosted elsewhere?

Cheers,

Ooh... I don't have any firsthand knowledge of this, but I believe Vulcan has been out of the MediaWiki business since 2013, when Project Halo was canceled; so my guess is that you won't get an answer, and that the site will never come back up.

I too believe Yaron's assessment is correct. I have updated the extension's page to reflect this better and not to trigger too many expectations.

Thanks - any idea if the content is cached somewhere? I was looking at possibly removing the WOM dependency, and if the documentation isn't available, that makes it a) more important b) more difficult. Current strategy without docs is to determine the functionality I'm looking to replace by experiment, which could be time-consuming!

Vulcan prevented the webpage in question from being crawled and archived via their "robots.txt" file. So the internet archive holds no information this. The only way I see is to approach Vulcan directly and ask if some or all of the documentation is still available somehow and may be provided.

I send a message to Jesse asking to get the old documentation so I can update the extension page...
