Apparently the website is now dead - not after being copiously
spammed, if I trust the search engine web caches.

You can check:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://wiki.gnuarch.org
(which is quite slow)

I remember seeing a question about this v2-only note, I think the
answer was something like "we messed this up in the beginning, and now
we can't revert".


Basically it was a documentation wiki for GNU Arch.

The GNU Arch team was never good at keeping a website URL stable for
more than 1 year so it doesn't really surprise me if this doesn't work
again...

The wiki was reasonably active and offered quality content though,
despite being partially hijacked by the 'baz' so-called "friendly
fork" - but that's besides the point.
