Hello,
I benefitted a lot of OWFS over the last years.

Of course it would be very nice to get owfs.org back.

If owfs.org is too complicated, take owfs.info for 12 $/year.

Or, do some housekeeping, and use the github Web presence.
If "we" don't manage to get owfs.org back, then I would vote for just using owfs.github.io.
I do see many contributors on github, and 5 open pull requests on github.

BUT : Who is in charge ? Who could "pull" something and clean up ?

There isn't really any single individual in charge anymore, but there are a few individuals who every now and then does some commit to the code or handles pull requests, and a bunch of people giving excellent help both here on the list and on the Github tickets. But the community as such is not really pushing forward, the time people can spend on owfs related things is probably limited to helping people out and making sure the important things work. After all, owfs is quite mature these days, the oldest GIT commit holds a Changelog file with first dated 2001.. While still widely used, I'm not sure how much 1-wire the latest home automation generation are using?

Anyway, there are currently 4 Members with full rights to the Github organization (/owfs):
Jan Kandziora aka ianka
Stefano Miccoli aka miccoli
Matthias Urlichs aka smurfix
Johan Ström aka stromnet, (me)

These are currently the persons who are free to commit and merge PRs.
I led the migration from Sourceforge to Github, and the others where frequent commiters with push access (iirc) to Sourceforge git repo, so they where added. There where plenty more people with push access on sourceforge, but they had been inactive for a long time and/or did express any interest in access.

Johan


Best regards
Ekkehard

Mike (CCed) has offered to send over EEP transfer codes for the domain
in off-list email before, so he is the authorative source on the status
of the domain I guess, and can assist (if not too late) whoever wants to
pick the domain up.

As for the dropbox link, I downloaded the file so I got it offline.  It
is a couple of hundered of Mbs of random stuff, among other things a
MySQL db dump + php files for the site. I would personally guess that it
is easier to pick up the interesting textual pieces from archive.org (if
everything is there?) and put it into a new site, rather than bringing
that back alive and pick up info from there. That said, let me know if
you want the file anyway and I'll put it up somewhere.

The old whois information:
https://github.com/owfs/owfs/issues/35#issuecomment-480738656
Interestingly enough it seems to be the same if I do a whois right now,
and Registry expiration date is May 13th?
As for the contents, Mike has previously posted a dropbox link with a
full raw dump (mysql db + php files + alot of other things) of the site.
Perhaps it held some secret passwords which have now been used to "take
over" the site, in case the domain isn't actually expired yet?

Owch. Typical domain grabbing idiocy. We should have transferred it
before it expired. :-(
Reasonable registrars block new registrations for a time to allow the
domain to be transferred by the legit owner …
I can look into contesting that registration, though "owfs" isn't a
registered trademark or anything AFAIK, thus chances are slim.
