Red Hat is currently in the process of consolidating all its community
hosted servers to a single hosting facility. As part of that,
the gnome.org servers are being moved *this weekend*.
You plan on doing something other than working on GNOME this weekend, or
find a programming task that doesn't rely on access to GNOME servers.

In this article, Natan Yellin writes about GNOME Zeitgeist, a new user interface for documents and user information in the GNOME desktop currently planned for GNOME 3.0.
Even if GNOME 3.6 has not yet been released, the GNOME developers published some of the features that will be implemented in the next major release of the desktop environment, GNOME 3.8.

While some GNOME developers and users see the once fledging desktop environment fading into abyss, other GNOME developers see nothing but GNOME getting better with the best yet to come.

The GNOME project, which is facing heavy criticism over usability issues, is to build a touch-capable 'GNOME OS' as a way of improving the overall experience for users and developers...

Christer Edwards upgraded blogs.gnome.org to Wordpress 3.1. He also
moved it from window to a VM on combobox (209.132.180.177). Might take a
while before you notice due to DNS.
If you want to use blogs.gnome.org NOW, put the following in /etc/hosts:
209.132.180.177 blogs.gnome.org
