LibrivoxFrom 08:40 GMT July 5th: Regrettably, it appears that the secure server where the forum lives is currently down again.
We will get it functioning again as soon as possible, and apologise for the inconvenience.
The catalogue server and downloads are unaffected.
EDITED TO ADD: Apologies for the latest outage, which was caused by a problem related to changing DNS providers. It is now back up, and the problem should soon resolve for everyone if it hasn’t done so already.

We still have a number of areas where work is ongoing, and users may notice things that are not working properly yet. There is a lot of work still to do and it is going to take some time to get everything functioning as we would wish. Security and usability are our top priorities.
In the meantime, one area that is not working is the New Releases update on the LibriVox Home Page. The new Releases RSS feed is working, so if you are subscribed to that you will see new releases as they come through, but they are not appearing on the Home Page.
In the meantime, this may help if you have missed any of the new releases since the reinstatement of the catalogue: the Internet Archive LibriVox index page has a list of all new releases in date order. Scroll down until you see “This just in”.
We are all greatly looking forward to getting back to what we are all here for – making public domain texts available as audio recordings. We thank you for your patience.

We are pleased to report that the catalogue is now available again. It has been extensively tested, but please report any minor hiccups on the Error Reports forum.
As Fanny Kemble wrote:
Fail not for sorrow, falter not for sin,
But onward, upward, till the goal ye win.
Thank you for your patience.
