I am happy to announce that the Brickshelf Instuction Library will be coming
back online soon.  Kevin Loch has asked us, and we agreed, to host it at
Peeron.com.  Since we have to write a new interface for the library, it is not
ready yet to go live, but we hope it will be available soon.

I am glad to hear the good news.

With Peeron becoming an even more valuable resource for the community (not that
it wasn't valuable already), are there any plans for redundancy so if there were
problems with Peeron (God forbid) that we would not be stuck as a community?

Well, I assume that by "problem with Peeron" you mean a problem with Jennifer
and myself :)  But there are other members of the community that have access to
the server, the code, and the data.  So even if we were to go away, the site
could continue to run.  We also keep Peeron funds seperate, pay for hosting a
year at a time (which means there will be time to find a new host if need be),
and the site does support it's own expenses, meaning it's not a burden to
continue running it.

So while that's not quite redundant, I'd say it's fairly safe.
