Unfortunately, that (willowgarage.com being down) is not something anyone
on ros-user's likely has control over, and at least for OSRF I can say we
have no control over this.

We can try to poke personal contacts about the status, but I would imagine
it is likely accidental that it is down and there is no one left keep it
fixed.
