Asp Forum - where are the Ruby FAQ gone?

Does anyone know where the Ruby FAQs are gone to? The two sites
which had hosted the FAQs until recently,

http://dev.rubycentral.com/faq/ru...
http://www.rubygarde...

don't seem to work anymore.

The former maintainer of the FAQ, Dave Thomas, had explained to me
a couple of weeks ago that he hopes to find a way of hosting and
maintaining the FAQs again some time later in this year, but in
the meantime, I think even an unmaintained, old version of the
FAQ would be useful.

Does someone happen to have downloaded a local copy, so we could
publish it somewhere, even if it is an interim solution only?

Not yet, but I'll give the change some time to trickle down and try
back...

P.S. This issue arose due to links on the Ruby home page we are
trying to fix.
