This is weird. Their domain registration doesn't expire until next year, but the SOA for org is claiming they have no record for hamcrest.org.

I've pinged both the dreamhost proxy address and the last known owner and haven't had any response. Grateful for any help.
Basically the dns servers have changed but the root glue records have not been updated. . Requires the domain owner to talk to the registrar
Working now
not sure how else to report this but all the docs are missing...
http://dns.squish.net/traverses/38751cbb1ada037e5f5d16d5e774c4ea
looking at the whois I can see DNS records listed and querying those servers does give me an IP address for github pages - but it appears as though there is no glue records in the root domain so you just can't get to these servers...
