  Actually with Adobe killing flash in a few years, Gnash will be the
only way to play old content in the future. That's actually an argument
to keep Gnash alive if anyone felt like it. Lack of motivation and
funding of course becomes a problem. The Wiki DB and Drupal won't import
on Centos 7, which is the only reason it's stayed offline. Note the
wayback machine has a static copy of Gnashdev.org.
