GNOME, known for it's ever popular DE (Desktop Environment) on Linux, is experiencing a “Major Outage” with 8 out of it's 13 websites not being available for the end user.

Notable infrastructure outages include: Pastebin, GNOME Extensions, Nextcloud, Main GNOME Website. Other less vital websites, such as Damned Lies, Blogs, Surveys, and Shop, are also down.

 

Summary

These outages have hindered user access to extensions that tie into the GNOME Shell, and download various media on the GNOME website.

This shouldn't cause a major impact as these services are not a part of the main GNOME infrastructure, unlike their DNS service, which is still currently operable.

 

Below is Quoting the Official status.gnome.org Website as of 21:40 PST

My thoughts

It's possible these websites are currently down for updates. However, the unlikeliness of having this many main websites of the GNOME foundation down, is slightly odd.

A pain point for me is the GNOME extensions, as I would like to download some.
