Hi all,

The http://gallery.osgeo.org/ is not working anymore (despite Apache's
message :). Someone can please check this.

I have reactivated the server in a sense that it now states at least
"The OSGeo Gallery site is offline for maintenance due to spam outbreak."

The mechanism of submitting new sites must be revisited.
I would suggest to have a moderation queue to avoid spamming
as it happened in the past.

FWIW: The server is on the webextra machine.

sorry for no better news right now,
Markus

Hello Markus,

Thank you for the clarifications. It's true. The gallery was invaded by spam. If you need an extra hand for the moderation process count me in as a volunteer.

Regards,
Vasile
