ah! that! no, site is operated by same people as five years ago (with
brilliant exception of search), few people left during that time,
because of various reasons.
some volunteers are not volunteers anymore though, being on foundation
payroll.
unfortunately, being 'sysadmin' of such site is more about running
around with debugger, profiler and compiler, rather than conventional
systems administration, and it is somewhat difficult to get people to
volunteer to do that (and certain things as full automatization of
cluster management are quite big projects, that require years of
experience and attention to detail).
