It was migrated, if my memory serves me correctly, at the same time than
wiki when the compromising attack happened (long ago). I thought you were
involved to it with Bjori? but it may get lost down the road? I lost all
pear/pecl/wiki systems accesses during that time.
My only wish is if we could keep it archived, read-only, and the pgz
accessible as file downloads. That could be done without access tho, but it
requires some more work :)
best,
Pierre
