ASDK website blocked in China due to Facebook DNS server

[draveness]

Am I the only person who cannot open the home page for ASDK? Many people arounds me cann't open http://asyncdisplaykit.org this website. Is there any possibilities that we are in China?

Sorry for posting this problem in an issue.

@draveness Hey Draveness, http://asyncdisplaykit.org is hosted on Github, can you get to other pages that are hosted on Github pages?

I have already solve this problem which is caused by some blocking resources that can't access in China. Sorry for interruption again....

Regards,
Draveness

Thanks @draveness - That's good to know as maybe other developers from China are not be able to see the page.

Hmmm...according to this website, it is not available from mainland china. Maybe we should consider producing a pdf of the website content?

If this website is hosted on GitHub, it wouldn't be blocked from China, except some resources like css or js files are blocked and causing the whole website unaccessible in China. And it won't be a big problem for the Chinese developers, most of us have a way to circumvent the GFW

This website is hosted on Github. The main problem is not the website though it's the DNS server for the domain name. It seems like the main DNS server is A.NS.FACEBOOK.COM. Unfortunately Facebook is blocked within China so if you would like to open the website the DNS never get's resolved to an IP address as the name server is not reachable.

@appleguy can you provide any guidance on how we could resolve this?
