Hi Eugenia!
If I recall correctly, this was done in October when the gnomefiles 
website went down, with a blog post from you saying it probably wouldn't 
go up again [1].
Around this time, we looked into if we could host it ourselves in any 
way [2], but realized it was out of our control to do so because of the 
license the website use [3].
