As an outage report...

The server which hosts both lua.org and the lua-l mailing list suffered from a
severe failure approximately 14 hours ago which was not picked up by myself or
Rob until this morning at about 7am.  We have worked since then to restore
things and everything should be back just fine.  Sadly due to the nature of the
failure, there are no logs from when it happened so I cannot state what the
cause was.

We will be looking to put some external monitoring into place to help us spot
this kind of thing sooner (the machine in question was the gateway for email
so we didn't see any monitor emails until we'd fixed things).

Sorry for the outage, and I hope you all enjoyed a quieter Saturday evening
as a result :-)

D.
