Ahh... I'm not a fedora-announce subscriber - so I only saw the
message cross-posted to this list - sorry!

... but that announcement was for 11:00 UTC 12/12/2009 - which is
still well before your message saying it started in 20 minutes (which
I received at 23:09 UTC) but well after Simon's reported problems.
Also, reading the attached f-i ticket, it says that non-wiki
fedoraproject.org websites will be up - which would tend to indicate
that start.fedoraproject.org will stay up - so it's even less likely
to be the source of the probem ;o)
