is source.squeak backed up seriously? Because we thought ss was but it was not during a moment and this was fixed since last year. We discovered that the key cronjob was not reset or whatever. This is why for SmalltalkHub we asked INRIA and they proposed to put in place and automatic backup of the server on three locations in france: lille, nancy, grenoble as part of their infrastructure backup. So as soon as SmalltalkHub is released and installed on INRIA server I will really check that point with them. We got several back ups hard disc crashing (and not maintained by INRIA and replication was a good way to avoid losing info) and now I want to push that to our services to be totally safe.

lets do that.
Sidenote: besides the inconvenience which makes us frequent collapse of SqS service, I feel happy that smalltalk grown beyond the capacity which squeaksource can handle. Lets not forget that it served us well for years, thanks to people for developed it and maintained it over the years.
So, lets solve this problem and move on.

When it looked like most of global open source Smalltalk development came to a halt last weekend because of squeaksource.com being down for about two days, I asked about moving vital parts like vmmaker to source.squeak.org . This would take some load from squeaksource.com (even if it is until there is a better alternative) and could make commits to vmmaker faster. As suggested I move the discussion to vm-dev.

Wouldn't it make also good sense to move some vital stuff like the vmmaker repo to this destination? I know this will be controversial, but the current situation is bad at best.
That would be a good idea IMHO - you might ask what the other VM developers think of the idea on the vm-dev list.
