Hello all,
as you may know status.toolserver.org was only a static page for some days, because the original site with the dynamic code went down. I promised a rewrite and that is done now, the new dynamic page is in place and working – I switched to it some minutes ago. I tried to keep as much backwards- compatibilty as possible, but it is not 100% the same old page (if you need the same old page for a quick&dirty fix in your tools, you can find it at [1]). I changed many things in the backparts, that will make the live of the roots easier, but I also added some features at the fronside: XML-, JSON- and a plain-output. Please notice that the page runs on a external server of mine, that has not the performance of the toolserver – so please keep the access-rates civil (not more than 1/minute) and provide a useful user-agent (I will block unuseful ones). I plan to setup a cache-instance of it in the toolserver-cluster to allow more accesses; but not at the moment. If you find a problem, please fill in a ticket at JIRA (in the TS-queue).
Sincerley, DaB.

the cache can now be found at [1]; I also added an API. I would suggest to use the cache for normal and fall back to status.toolserver.org only if the cache is unavaiable (the cache is fast enough that you can do a check everytime you need to, while status.toolserver.org is NOT). Humans should still be pointed to status.toolserver.org (most of them have no good fallback ;-)).
