A quick status update on the situation:
 * No additional damage has been discovered; at the current
 time we are cautiously hopeful that the compromise was
 limited in scope.
 * ftp.gnome.org is back on now that we have additional
 confidence in the integrity of the tarballs.
 * We've now restored a number of services running on a 
 replacement machine
 - Websites including www.gnome.org, and developer.gnome.org
 are back up in limited service; dynamic content is still
 off so some parts may be inaccessible.
 - planet.gnome.org is again providing all your favorite
 blogs and gossip.
 - Bugzilla is in testing mode; we hope to restore general
 access in the next day.
Thanks for your patience; we'll continue to provide updates
as we move back to fully operational status.
