Website

It seems that the YafaRay website is down, the domain has expired.

Hello,

Thank you for reporting this, I've forwarded this to Alvaro for review.

[DavidBluecame]

Hi, the domain has been renewed and you will not see anymore that unsettling message.

Unfortunately there are still issues with the yafaray.org server itself, so the website is down at the moment. Alvaro is aware and it's up to him now. However, as the issue with the domain renewal is resolved I'm closing this issue.

Thanks again for reporting this and best regards.

[DavidBluecame]

Thinking about it, I'll leave this issue open, so other users are aware that the website is down.

Please if you have any issues with the software, please report them as issues in Github, either in libYafaRay for the "core" library or at the YafaRay-Blender if they are Blender-exporter related.

Where can I see the docs for now?

Hello,

It's slow and probably incomplete, but a significant portion of the yafaray.org website can still be read using the Archive.org Wayback Machine link below:

I hope it helps.

Hi there, I am Alvaro

We don't have website because we don't have a "resident" sysadmin, it is materially imposible to keep a site up without one, moreover if we use a complex CMS structure like the one we had. We are open to ideas and proposals about this issue, but wihout a sysadmin we can only shoot for a maintenance-free solution. Unfortunatelly we had lost a ton of up to date documentation and tutorials with the site downfall but, apart from webarchive, there is some stuff at:

Hi @DavidBluecame ,
I couldn't find an email or something to talk to you about the website. If you need someone with sysadmin and website development knowledge you can ping me. (I'm also with the same username everywhere)

@odil24, thanks for the suggestions. I wrote in the FB post. I didn't ping @SamoSan because as far as I can see he is AFK at least from Github. If they are in search, hopefully, I can help.

Hello,
