Just their site.

I've seen. IIRC in the January it was running in all its glory with
project listing etc, as it used to run... (I was looking for various
emulators of various CPU which would allow me to run various embedded
OSes, and so I've also looked for or1000 cpu/emulator. As you may know
I've ended with i386-rtems/qemu platform at the end)

Please take this information as just FYI, I'm not connected with
opencores.org projects in anyway, nor with o32-rtems platform.
