Popup Chinese grammar guide? (popupchinese.com)

This is a great resource; I somehow landed on the "noun nominalizing" page through a Google search. However it seems from the link above to not have any content in it. I know this is false however, as I just saw a part of it. Anyone able to help out?
Really strange that this page has been picked up by Google, since as far as I know there isn't anything linking to it online.
To answer the question -- yes -- we have been working on this on-and-off for a while (two or three years?). It was originally designed to be a reference associated with various test questions, so that if someone kept getting answers wrong, we could point them to a page that would explain the reasons behind all of these things. Unfortunately, like most efforts at categorizing the Chinese language, it kept getting more complex and less usable....
Anyway, it is all database driven and so there is some material in there right now, but definitely not enough to be useful. So we are probably going to revive it at some time (when we overhaul the testing stuff), but not in the immediate future (next couple of months).
Best,
