I got a response from JTC Inc regarding our use of the modevia server and was told that the server is no longer available for us to use. So, the bad news is that we need to find alternative hosting. However, the good news is that they didn't nuke our data apparently. They want to know what we need to be able to retrieve the data, so I left it with a response asking how much data we had on the server... once we know this we can make arrangements to recover the nightly stuff.
Now is the fun part... does anyone know of any organizations that would be interested in hosting this stuff for us? I'm almost tempted to say the nightly builds might do well on sourceforge just for the sake of mirroring and having a rough idea of download stats. It's just a thought, no one is married to it. All reasonable suggestions are welcome.
Could you please remove the download links to inkscape.modevia.com for win32 & osx development builds from the download page? http://inkscape.org/download/?lang=en (+ other languages) We are getting reports in the bug tracker about the broken links: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/879422 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/880939
Maybe a short news article about it might also help to inform users who have been helping with testing and bug reporting using the nightlies (or weeklies) for osx & win32.
