Incorrect.

Incorrect. It was overloaded, but has long since been moved to a new
box. There is a new dedicated box waiting in the wings though for
someone with enough gforge-fu (and the time) to do the move.

It is running an old release. The move to the new server was/is supposed
to include an upgrade to the latest FOSS release I believe.

Incorrect as far as I'm aware.

That has been addressed.

Both Gborg and pgFoundry are currently backed up to another onsite
server as well as an off-site. The new pgFoundry box is also being setup
to hold additional backups.
