In my school we run a Moodle site. The opening page in my math course downloads two scripts from aleph.sagemath.org. The scripts were useful in the past when I displayed a few sage-cells, which have been removed later. The references to these scripts however were only visible in the page source and were not removed.

Now it seems the server at aleph.sagemath.org is unreachable, and the page hangs when trying to contact it. I'm unable to view it, and unable to edit it. Is this a temporary problem or has this server disappeared for good? Any suggestions on how to repair the situation?

Feels a bit silly to answer my own question. I just didn't have enough patience. After waiting for maybe 5 minutes, I eventually received a time-out, and the rest of the page was displayed. I was then able to edit the page and remove the unnecessary references to aleph.sagemath.org

I think http://sagecell.sagemath.org/ is the replacement of aleph. Development for the sage cell server happens at https://github.com/sagemath/sagecell. If you're looking for information about what changed and why, you might find it there.

I thought aleph was a nice name, and when people asked if sage had something like alpha it was nice to point them to aleph, and they usually thought it was cute and easy to remember. Maybe we could keep aleph at least redirecting to sagecell on sagemath.org?
