A few years ago I developed the site for Action For Advocacy but they have since ceased operational activity, so the site at http://www.actionforadvocacy.org.uk is no longer maintained.
As a result the page Find an Advocate now states the service is unavailable.
After recently talking with a user of the site I was suddenly made aware of what a valuable resource this has become to some.
I have no idea how long the site will remain hosted, and feel it is such a shame that the data there will go out of date and eventually vanish.
UPDATE: the site has appeared again with a banner along the top FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY UNDER OGL and all articles and contacts re-direct to the home page but still allows fast navigation of the site. It’s still running the servlet code with JSPs (making heavy use of javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagSupport;
I had obviously discovered at the time!) and persisted with mySQL, for example the site credits page is still there. I look back at that code and shudder at the lack of tests, probably why it’s now only a private repository on github! Ask though if you’re interested, I only found the code again recently myself.
Incidentally Netahead was good friend and colleague Luke Jennings who I’d worked with at ASPACE 2003-2005, he edited the JSPs adding styles, and painstakingly created those maps!
