 Well, mail forwarding has now been set up for my old LMO address, and so
I believe for Ralf's. Any other resources remain unavailable.

In the discussion of that patch series, Kurt Martin promised to get
linux-mips.org back online. Four months have now passed and the webpage is
still not back online. So, I suggest to remove these dead references.
Probably, we do not lose much if the linux-mips.org webpage never comes back.
 While most resources have been migrated I think the wiki was unique and
valuable. Perhaps we could preserve read-only references to archive.org
dumps? It's not clear to me what our policy is here though, if any.
Perhaps better to wholesale copy the content and keep it
around somewhere else like lore.kernel.org.

I made a request to kernel.org infrastructure team to create a wiki site for linux-mips project

to restore contents from old linux-mips.org back in April. I think that would be another approach

as I saw PA-RISC migrated their wiki site to kernel.org as well.


Thanks.
