I just re-enabled some of the URLs and traffic is flowing.
This rebuild is going to require an ongoing effort to bring it back to its former glory but we will get there shortly.
If you find things are broken then let us know.

Managed Wordpress Hosting from Delimiter
At the bottom of http://home.gmane.org/2016/09/06/reboot-v1/ there is a link “Managed WordPress Hosting from Delimiter” which goes to https://www.delimiter.com/managed-wordpress/ which in turn is a 404 page. Since you’re company is helping us we should (in a small way) help you by checking your adverts work!
Some DNS entries seem to be missing as of now (ie. news.gmane.org). Maybe enable them with the “not everything up yet” error message?
In any case: thanks for bringing Gmane back up again!
Oh, and I forgot to mention, that opening the HTTPS version of any page leads to an CloudFlare error page.
The gwene link on the top of the gmane web page does not “work” (connection refused), is this some DNS issue? Or that is coming back only later?
Gwene is not part of our agreement with Lars, I believe he will be bringing that back on his own at some point.

OpenBSD’s mail list please
Happy to arrange it, we’re still getting the base platform in place then we’ll be in a position to add more MLs

Thank you for bringing Gmane back! It is a very valuable service for the free software world.
There is one comment I desperately have to make: please do not use CloudFlare. I use Tor to browse the web and do my other activities on the Internet, and CloudFlare makes this really annoying by asking Tor users to fill CAPTCHAs (which require JavaScript; gmane.org used to work fully without enabling JavaScript, which means among other things that it can be used in text browsers) on every website they visit, all the time… If you can tell, I do not want to have to fill a CAPTCHA every time I follow a link to a mailing list message on gmane.org.
I realize CloudFlare is convenient, but it breaks important advantages of the Internet by making it centralized and makes websites significantly less usable for Tor users. These are things that are very important to me, and I suspect to the community Gmane is intended to serve; so, please, find an alternative to CloudFlare.
Again, thanks for bringing back Gmane!
Gmane has been hidden behind Cloudflare some months prior to us taking it over. It handles a lot of the drive-by attacks (and there have already been quite a few) without us having to focus on DDOS/DOS mitigation.
Unfortunately for now, we can’t change this but will be happy to relook at this once we completed the rebuild and have more time to dedicate to mitigation work.

Cloudflare recently added a way for a site owner to whitelist Tor:

We’ll look into that today. Thanks for pointing it out.
~ Mark
We’ve whitelisted Tor, lets see how it goes

Thank you so much for bringing Gmane back! I use the NNTP interface every day, and the web interface is nice to have now and then, too.
One relatively minor thing currently not working is mid.gmane.org, which allows linking to a message if you know the message ID, for example:
http://mid.gmane.org/[email protected]om
Personally, I’d like to see this feature come back, once the bigger stuff is taken care of.
Thanks again,
–Patrick
mid.gmane.org is up for example:
http://mid.gmane.org/[email protected]
But your link isn’t working, looks like a bug.
/paging Martin.

There was an issue in the request sanitiser, which wasn’t handling the underscore properly.
Martin has updated and pushed the change to the site, your link is working now.
~ Mark
Not sure if it’s just because the indexing hasn’t finished but going to http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2244148 and clicking the Subject link results in a 404.
Looks like we still have some holes in the indexed articles. This week we’ll start plugging them.

The nntp bridge of the mailing list [email protected] broke when Lars decided to pull the plug. The geda project aims to maintain and further develop an open sourced suite of electronics applications — simulation, schematic capture, layout design, I noticed, that the nntp bridge of other gmane mirrored mailing lists I am signed in are operational. However, gmane.comp.cad.geda-user remains silent in my nntp reader, although I receive about two geda-user messages per day in my regular email box.
I’d love to read geda-user in my favorite nntp-reader again. It is a much better designed to follow long winded discussions by several authors. Here are the details again:
email list address: [email protected]
gmane list name: gmane.comp.cad.geda-user
Thank you for picking up the torch!
All the best,

As soon as we have the NNTP service migrated to the new platform then we’ll be in touch to get this fixed up.

I am looking forward to it.
Thank you, again for your engagement..

Hi.
I am CinelerraCV-user.
Is it possible to restore our gmane-group http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.cinelerra-cv.general
?
We have 19,499 of your messages indexed. Blog and RSS are still not reimplemented, Martin thinks he’ll be able complete that this week.
Permalink is up, for example:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.cinelerra-cv.general/3065
~ Mark
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.cinelerra-cv.general
is still not working. Please, do not forget about us. 🙂
thanks for taking care of Gmane and all the legacy links out there!
I came across one that isn’t working, taken from the Archived-At header of the NNTP interface: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.postgresql.devel.general/283712
should that be expected to work, yet?
The NNTP articles are not currently feeding into the website’s storage. Once Martin finishes the NNRP server then it will sync up.

Hi Mark.
As mentioned above, the nntp bridge of the mailing list [email protected] broke when Lars decided to pull the plug. Unfortunately, the bridge to this specific mailing list remained silent, when you did the reboot.
I’d love to read the geda list with my favorite usenet reader again. Can you look into what blocks the list from gmane’s catalog?
Best regards,
