Right. And I've let Google know how disappointed I was in the lack of
announcements and/or status for this.
Some stuff I found while checking this out:

- "Groups Announcements and Alerts"
http://groups.google.com/group/groupsknownissues/browse_frm/thread/beaa1543ecc87df3
"After careful review of this group, we’ve realized that most of the
questions posted here are either duplicate questions or questions
answered in our help center. As a result, we’ve decided to archive
the
group. "

- A promising looking pointer to an app status app: http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en
But that gave an 401 web error yesterday!
Today it claims 'all systems go for the past week'.

yet an other forum... more wikipedia like. Seems to have potential.
