In the interest of completeness, I'll report that Litmus has been back up for some time now, and is currently running on a spiffy dedicated VM under mod_perl.
This past weekend was our fall break, so I took advantage of the time off to travel around and see some good friends, met an interesting fellow along the way, and crashed at various institutions of higher learning. All and all, it was great fun. Of course, the work tends to pile up when you're away. After a certain exam is over with, regular service should return to normal.
I'm setting aside a short block of time in the next few days to work on improving some of the installation infrastructure and documentation around Litmus. While this may seem like a little bit of a waste of time, after all, Litmus is only being used by Mozilla right now, and we already have it installed! However, I've heard a good amount of interest from several groups in using Litmus for other projects, and the lack of a reasonable installation process makes it pretty much impossible for them to get started. Ideally, new users will result in more patches getting folded back into the main Litmus codebase, improving things for everybody. In reality, the result will probably just be more support questions and maintenance headaches, but it's a nice thought.
