I've created an entry on Advogato at Mark Wielaard's (mjw) instigation.
I *think* I've got Jikes RVM's CVS repository fully restored from the crash on IBM's developerWorks OSS site last week. The mailing lists are still broken, though -- no traffic.
I have uploaded all of my changes for building Jikes RVM using Kaffe as a bootstrap VM -- they're now available in the CVS repository and will make it into the 2.3.2 release. I'm still documenting them, though.
