Alyawarra Ethnographic Archive

Over the past few months I have twice contacted the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies via the Online Enquiry option on their Contact Us page to see when the Alyawarra Ethnographic Archive site would be available again as it has for a long time been described as unavailable for technical reasons. Sadly to date I have had no reply. Surely the technical issues could have been solved by now. Having used the site on numerous occasions it appeared to be pretty much a standard web / database application.
