The servers are down, messaging generates a long error message like something is messed up in that section. There is no news from the project people. I can't find anything recent on the web about this project either.

Has anyone been able to contact this project for information?

Yes, there is some discussion with the administrators on the project's Discord server. To summarize from that discussion, the server is back up and they expect the services to be back up within a few hours.
