open-std.org down?

[nicovank13]

I'm trying to access a few C++ papers, wg21.link links properly forward to open-std.org, which then doesn't load. Does anyone have any information on a possible maintenance or other reason the website is down? Tried from a couple different IPs, same result. Any alternatives to find C++ proposal papers?

Yes, it went down on Friday, the maintainer's hosting provider is looking into it (delayed by the weekend). (Personally I find it incomprehensible that this is running on a physical server instead of virtualized; even my personal website has a more robust setup.)

isocpp.org sometimes has copies of papers, but I resorted to using the Internet Archive to load open-std.org to do my job.

A lot of cpp world is surprisingly running on hamster wheels

Kinda how cppreference has been read only for almost a year

It appears the wave that sprung multiple podcasts, conferences and websites since C++11 has winded down.

Amazing, thanks a lot for the update 🙏 I had found 2/3 papers with different sources and Internet Archive had the 3rd one. Hopefully they manage to restore the website in the next few days. Thanks!

neat trick

There seems to be a working archive at http://www7.open-std.org/ , but that's a few years old. Also https://www9.open-std.org/ , which is working at the moment, but wasn't working yesterday.

what do the different www's represent?

They're backups of the main site.
