The savannah server is working for, at least right now.

Velveeta will be going away sometime in the next few months, most
likely when I can get anonymous hg access set up on the UW College of
Engineering web server.  I can't do this myself, so I'm waiting until
they migrate their web services from the current Sun systems to a
GNU/Linux system that will allow them to more easily install and
maintain packages like hg.  When the migration is complete, we can
still have multiple read-only hg servers (UW, savannah, others?) that
are all synced.
