ofxhome.com down

Hi,

tl;dr: ofxhome.com is down.  I emailed the owner.  He found out about it
today.  We should decide what to do.

Long version:

I just heard back from him.  Here's his response:

I just found out about this today. As you can guess I haven't been doing
much with
ofxhome.com recently other than keeping it on life support.


My host was medialayer and it turns out that its owner has passed away and
the
service has shut down. I should have some old backups available.
Unfortunately I may
not be able to access anything recent. I'll continue looking into this.


Does the community have a plan in place? I'm happy to turn over
ofxhome.com to the
open source community. Or you can go in a different direction if you think
ofxhome.com should be replaced (you won't hurt my feelings, it's old!).



So... what WOULD be the plan?  I don't think we even considered a plan.. 
We could take it over, but we probably want it "hosted" as opposed to
"self-hosted"..  I don't know what the platform is/was that he was using.

Comments?  Suggestions?
