The web is back up
(published on 2015-03-15)
After some time, the merkaartor.be is back up. As the old redmine stuff was not
updated, buggy, and not secure, it was down for a long time. I’ve built a new,
simple site, mostly for publishing news and hosting releases. All the bug
tracking integrated in the old site will now happen on
github.
