Okay, not “Haiku News”, but haikunews.org. I know that it’s on the same server as leBuzz, which is also down (and haikumail, which wasn’t yet public). Thought maybe Chris, Dane, Kancept or someone else in the know might pop in the comments here and let the community know what’s going on, and the expected timeframe of restoral. Chris, Dane, Kancept? Anyone?

Get ready everyone! A new Flash is coming. That’s right, hard working community member looncraz™ is developing a new Flash player for us. This version of the Macromedia Flash play will be compatible with version 6 and 7 Flash files. Aside from parsing (done by the gplflash library), this player will be BeOS native. An end of October release date is currently planned but this is always subject to change.

Was following a link from HaikuNews to Bryan Varner’s The Looney Bin about statements about Java on BeOS, and saw his newest post about a possible client to the popular BitTorrent system. Way cool. Thanks for your endless hard work Bryan!
