The Anki site http://ichi2.net/anki/index.html appears to be down. I found out when my syncing stopped working.

However, a new website has showed up in its place: http://www.anki.com/

Are the two programs related, or am I missing something here?

As far as I know, that's an older product. I'm not sure if the current Anki took it's name from that one or if it's just a coincidence, but as far as I know they're two separate things.

Not so much a coincidence as the fact that "anki" (暗記) means memorize in Japanese.

It's not down now...

Anki for Palm is really old. They didn't take anything.

Anki (暗記) means "memorization", so it's not too surprising if another Japanese learning related software used the same name.

I wouldn't say 'in its place' ... that site has been there for 8 years.

Loads fine for me. Guessing DNS propagation is probably the culprit, check it later if it doesn't load and I bet it'll work. Could probably edit your hosts file if you really need to access it sooner, but that's a pain in the neck imo.

How to convert these databeses into the open source Anki's format?
