Freeculture.org now has a [status blog][1] for our website at [http://fcostatus.wordpress.com][1], where we will post news about problems with our website, downtime, emergencies, etc. This is in response to [the bug about needing an off-site status blog][2]. Check the status blog anytime FreeCulture.org's website does not seem to be working, and hopefully you'll find information there to calm your nerves (e.g. "We know about the problem, we're working on it."). If we haven't posted anything indicating that we are aware of the problem, please contact us right away and let us know, as detailed at [what to do if the site is down][3]! For the lazy, the contents of that page are pasted here:
## What to do if the site is down Oh no! [FreeCulture.org][4] or some portion of it or its related services is broken/unavailable! What do you do now? 1. Check whether we have posted anything on [this status blog][5] indicating that we are aware of the problem. 2. If there is no indication that we know of the problem, then please tell us about the problem right away! Jot down a clear description of the problem, then contact FreeCulture.org’s web team in one or more of the following ways: * E-mail our sysadmin, Asheesh, at [EMAIL PROTECTED], and/or * Pop into [our IRC channel][6] at #freeculture on irc.freenode.net, and mention it to people in that chat room. [More info about our IRC channel][7] is available on our wiki. If you don’t know what IRC is, skip this step, and/or * File a bug on [our bug tracker][8] on Launchpad.net. (Unfortunately, this requires you to register an account on Launchpad.) If it’s a real emergency, and you haven’t succeeded in reaching people in any other way, you may call Asheesh personally at (585) 506-8865.
