Netscape Devedge sidebars

site taken now

[SuzyUK]

WEll Duh me! Apparently the site was taken down on the 12th without warning :(

I didn't realise how much I used the Devedge sidebars. If you use them and haven't yet saved to your HD, (which is what I should've done!) you might like to go the the WayBack Archive [web.archive.org]

Tuesday October 12th, 2004

Netscape yesterday seemingly shut down their web developer resource, devedge.netscape.com, without warning. There was a great deal of content available on the site, and Mitchell Baker today posted that mozilla.org is going to try and recover the lost content. For those who are looking for some specific content on the site, much of it has been archived on Google.

Netscape DevEdge Content

It appears that Netscape DevEdge is gone. I am working to see if the Mozilla Foundation can get a license to important DevEdge content so that it remains available to the community. I suspect that the end of Netscape DevEdge before the Mozilla Foundation is authorized and set up to take over this function is a miscommunication somewhere along the line.

We do not currently have copies of the DevEdge material, nor do we yet have the right to display and maintain them. I am hopeful this will happen, and that we can get something in place quickly.

I'll provide updates as soon as I can.

Hope they are successful. I wandered by every couple of weeks. Too much valuable info to just up and lose.

I use them daily and noticed right off earlier this week. I was going to post something here too, but thought I would wait and see if the site was just down or something.

I searched the Netscape news area, etc. and didn't see any notices. Thanks for the Mozillazine heads up there, iamlost.

SuzyUK, where did you see that it was taken down on the 12th?

>>12th
coopster it was in that Moz article that iamlost is quoting from, but on further reading that was only the day it started to be talked about I reckon about a week before that.. on the 7th or 8th perhaps

I was trying the links and they weren't working just took me few days to investigate why ;)

btw.. I now have back what got lost for a while ~ thx to WayBack. Also note tntluoma has zipped files for the CSS2.1 and HTML4.01 sidebars but be aware these are for offline use only (i.e all the W3C pages are saved to your HD too..) which although fine for reference doesn't give [me] the online links [I need often]! But these I have now saved too. The online version is still invaluable and now I've put my own CSS in place and it's better than before :)

there is word that Mozilla may take over the hosting of these resources so maybe it won't be too long until they're "back" ;)
