oops, this is my fault: the database is actually down.
(we had a hardware-failure and re-installed everything from scratch; the 
database should have been backuped, however it did not go online again)

the reason why i was reluctant to get it up again in the second place 
(first were pressing things to do), is that i would very much prefer to 
get the entire database onto puredata.info AND in a different form, 
where people can submit there "objects" in their homedirectories and 
they would get automatically added to the list of objects.

most likely we can just use keywords for this (just like with the "pd-art");
we are open to any suggestions how to do it better and even more open to 
people who are able and willing to implement such features in the 
existing zope/plone framework.

PS: while pdb is often mentioned on this list, it seems like there are 
less than 5 people who (openly) complained about pdb not working since 
the beginning of this year.
