The RootsWeb home page still has the notice about the temporary downtime:
Further down are all of the home page links:
I clicked on a number of the links - especially the Getting Started, RootsWeb Guide to Tracing Family Trees, etc. I clicked on all of the major tabs at the top of the RootsWeb page and they all worked, and I could search for persons in the Search, Family Trees, Mailing Lists, Message Boards and Web Sites.
I have seen messages start to come through on the Mailing Lists I subscribe to, but there is probably a backlog there.
As I point out to my Beginning Computer Genealogy students, there is a wealth of FREE genealogy information on the RootsWeb site, especially in the Family Trees, Message Boards and Mailing Lists. A search for a specific person may result in finding other researchers with the same family interest, along with a contact email (which may be outdated).

FTP to homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com is down. That means that financial supporters of the original RootsWeb cannot access their unique "homepages" websites to add, edit or remove information.
