       I've experienced multiple outages that last for days on R-Forge 
in recent years.  Eventually, I write to R-Forge at R-Project.org, and they 
get it restarted.


       R-Forge is a great service, and I don't wish to complain, 
especially since I'm not paying for it.  Several times I've offered to 
help in different ways, but I have not heard a reply.  Many 
statisticians, most notably W. Edwards Deming, have made major 
contributions to helping people identify and substantially reduce or 
even eliminate common failure modes in all kinds of systems -- including 
computer systems like R-Forge.  They eventually fix the immediate 
problem, but I don't know what they've tried to make the overall system 
more reliable.
