Turns out that the list is on Yahoo and still exists. And yes, they 
didn't respond to the participants, and yes they did pull the plug 
without warning, as evidenced by this message:

  Subject:  Still no luck with opensif.org

  Am I the only one that can't connect to www.opensif.org? I still
  get connection refused, so it looks like the host is up, but the
  web server isn't running. 

  I've tried contacting three different email addresses at
  Edustructures, as well as Eric Peterson, but not one of them has
  responded.
 
  Anyone have any other suggestions?
 
  Regards,
  Scott

I'll post to that list asking if anyone else wants to resurrect OpenSIF 
and see what happens.
