Hopefully the web site will come back soon. I found the mailing list address with a bit of Ducking around: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=graphviz-devel+mailing+list Unfortunately, this list doesn't seem to exist anymore, because my e-mail bounced. I cannot download the source code, because that is/was hosted on graphviz.org as well. The header files do not contain contact information of a developer, so I guess we have to wait until it comes back online. Or do you think we can move along now and update the graphviz-guile package whenever we get it in upstream? I am definitely interested in adding an option to directly output an SVG in the graph subcommand, for which graphviz-guile is a prerequisite. Thanks for your time! Kind regards, Roel Janssen
