The IVOA is still fully operational. The web site is working for me…

With regard to ASCOM and SAMP: My understading is that ASCOM is a hardware
protocol which allows standarized control of hardware devices. SAMP
is a protocol for interfacing programs with one another. I.e., an image
display program can get images from SkyView (which is primarily an image
generation program.).

At one time SAMP enabled programs could interface with SkyView accessed
through our web pages, but unfortunately that become unavailable when SkyView
moved to HTTPS. Users of SkyView-in-a-Jar can still send images to
SAMP enabled programs from SkyView.

Is IVOA still active? The site http://www.ivoa.net no longer seems to be active.
