It is back up and was announced so via email to the various lists.  I'm sorry I didn't think to add analytics on those, I did spam several lists already.  As the initial mail said, you can pick up anything a day or more old from one of our mirrors, or from ms1001.wikimedia.org during outages like this.

Just FYI, Ariel is probably not going to see this until the morning. But I can confirm that if there was maintenance being done, the server seems to not have come back up correctly.

Hi,

I noticed the maintenance email was announced at
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/xmldatadumps-l/2016-March/001262.html
but it'd be helpful to CC this list as well.
