Our account actually ran out months ago, but the people running PBWiki extended our time in the hope that the project would receive some funding to continue it as a full operation wiki. No one has come forward with such assistance money and I lack the funding myself to provide it (as I had for the initial design and operation period of the first year).

I will still, when time and creativity permit, try to continue the zamani project, within the capabilities of what features will remain under the free wiki status.
