Netscape Shuts Down DevEdge Abruptly

In a mozillaZine post, Netscape has abruptly shut down shut down their web developer resource, devedge.netscape.com, without warning. There was a great deal of content available on the site.



Mitchell Baker says that mozilla.org is going to try and recover the lost content:
It appears that Netscape DevEdge is gone. I am working to see if the Mozilla Foundation can get a license to important DevEdge content so that it remains available to the community. I suspect that the end of Netscape DevEdge before the Mozilla Foundation is authorized and set up to take over this function is a miscommunication somewhere along the line.



We do not currently have copies of the DevEdge material, nor do we yet have the right to display and maintain them. I am hopeful this will happen, and that we can get something in place quickly.
For those who are looking for some specific content on the site, much of it has been archived on Google. The better place to find content would be the Wayback Machine.
