Enough until the google cache will contain the error message

I don't think that would happen. According to lynx, the error message page correctly returns a "503 Service Unavailable" status code. If Google's cacheing-spiders behave correctly, they'll see the 503 and know it's a temporary fault, and thus leave the cached copy as it is.

That doesn't fit. It is only mentioning the official Gentoo servers. As I have learnt (see above) Gentoo Linux Wiki is completely independent from official Gentoo resources.

Maybe it's affected by the same bug, too. Seems like it's a more general php (or whatever script language they're using) bug...

personally i find the gentoo-wiki more useful when it's a matter of searching for fixes to some problems. the forums are really awful in terms of searching. and i really search for a loooooooot of time in the forums when i get some trouble.
the gentoo-doc has a little of dispersion and finding something there is just as difficult as finding it in the forums.
great parts of the howto are good and still working. the tips also are quite good and still working.
the only thing is that sometimes you have to adapt the wiki's articles to your needs and sometimes have to redirect to the official documentation (which is almost every time mentioned in the articles).
when the forums will have a lightly better engine (most of the time i have to search for at least 20-30min before i can find something useful) the need for a wiki won't be there anymore.

searching site:forums.gentoo.org on google is much better than using the in-forum search. The wiki is still useful beyond that; although there are some nice howtos on the forums, they're not all in one place, and are reliant on whoever posted them to update them.

No, packages.g.o was taken down due to a problem in the way the application was coded (see the bugreport for details). The problem only affects packages.g.o (the other sites were taken down only because they were hosted on the same server).

gentoo-wiki is probably down because it shares the same sever as gentoo-portage.com, which was getting hammered after packages.gentoo.org went down.

Official site goes down, traffic shifts, unofficial site exceeds bandwidth limit/financial ability to keep site running, unofficial site goes down.

Too bad the Foundation couldn't release some of the donations to, you know, keep critical infrastructure up and running. Having an online package database is pretty important.

So, some parts of Gentoo is down and gentoo-wiki and gentoo-portage...

Well, is there any indications when theses sites will be up again ?

Actually gentoo-wiki.com and gentoo-portage.com both belong to the server with IP 72.10.70.138. That should explain, finally.

Same IP = (likely) on the same server = what he said

Does anyone know what happened to the Gentoo wiki (http://gentoo-wiki.com)?

I haven't been able to get to it all day.

The gentoo wiki has been down all day... Not sure if this is the place to post...

It times out every time I try to connect.

Other people having the same problem?

It is if you'd like corroboration and empathy, not if you want action. The wiki is unofficial and separate from gentoo.org and the Gentoo Foundation.

So is gentoo-portage.com. I wonder if they are on the same server?
