Ah, it seems wiki2 was broken due to a change in the server configuration. 
I've fixed this now, so it should work. The main site is managed by Rob, who 
in theory was going to fix it a few months ago, but I guess didn't. :-)

Some people have done bits of work - John will appear now and then with a 
new driver or some AES enhancements, and, hmm, that's probably about it 
really. Sadly, it seems there isn't much else going on these days. In 
theory, one day I may get my FreeGEM Setup program finished and will 
actually release Owen's FreeGEM Distribution 2.0. In practice, that may be a 
long way away!

Cheers,
