Correct.

* FWIW, http://ryppl.org (only one "l") is still live.

* http://bitbucket.org/boostorg contains the same information as
  http://github.com/boostorg, **as we originally announced**, because it
  has a potentially more-useful history browser that some might prefer
  using to review the modularization.  Also someone recently checked
  some enormous files into the SVN sandbox, which prevents us from
  pushing the sandbox module to github.
