&& Thanks for your reply Stefan @StefanKarpinski . Understood you have no direct connection with it, but FYI [JuliaObserver.com](http://JuliaObserver.com) has been down over a week now, and its not clear if anyone is working on it .  
Also, All the alternative “work arounds” are extremely cumbersome, way too far down in the weeds for a searchable functional overview of available Julia packages, and so would be very weak substitutes for [JuliaObserver.com](http://JuliaObserver.com) .

Would you or anyone else on this thread know who to contact, offer help to etc. ?
