Leaky Plumbing at Wikileaks

Wired reports this news about Wikileaks, a website that gained prominence after releasing the "Collateral Damage" video of American soldiers killing civilians in Iraq:
Would-be whistle-blowers hoping to leak documents to Wikileaks face a potentially frustrating surprise. Wikileaks’ submission process, which had been degraded for months, completely collapsed more than two weeks ago and remains offline, in a little-noted breakdown at the world’s most prominent secret-spilling website.
The article goes on to note that the page for submitting documents and information does not load and the website failed to buy its $30 SSL certificate.

So is the leaky plumbing at Wikileaks good or bad?
