A year of read-only cppreference

Over a year ago (on 30 March 2025), cppreference became read-only for maintenance reasons. Since then, the only progress update was in August. There have been several discussions here in the last few months about what is happening with cppreference and when it might become editable again, but from what I understand, we simply do not know.

At this point, I fear that the lack of updates for what is basically the authoritative source on the language (other than the standard of course), linked to by IDEs and even this subreddit's sidebar, might be detrimental to the adoption of C++26 and further standards, should the situation persist. I would therefore like to ask the community whether there are other, more up-to-date resources, and whether there is any effort to, for example, fork cppreference.

I understand that software updates are complicated and I have no intention to criticise the maintainers of cppreference (who are doing it voluntarily and I am not entitled in any way to their continued work on the website), but I do not think the C++ community can afford to be bottlenecked in such a way for much longer.
