It's still dead.

There could be a read-only mirror (for example at the european gsug.org
site): Each time a page is modified in the master swiki, a rendered
version of it could be uploaded to a special directory, an email
notification about the changed page would be sent to the mirror, it would
fetch the page. While rendering, the "special links" like edit, upload,
history etc. should point to the master swiki, while all others should be
relative. So if the master goes down, reading would still be possible.
