Hello.

I can't access the site too.

Anyway, you could access both the Launchpad and GitHub project repositories.

https://launchpad.net/kicad
http://github.com/KiCAD

Are you familiar with IRC? If you are, forget the following text and enter
#kicad from the irc.freenode.net IRC server.

FOSS projects usually have a chat room where users and developers
communicate. The server is Freenode ( irc.freenode.net ) and the channel
(how chatrooms are named is #kicad (# is included, it's a nomenclature to
note channels with that character before their name).

If you lack an IRC client, you could always use the web client.

http://webchat.freenode.net

It's recommended to register your nickname (the user name in the IRC
network) to verify your identity, receive privileges to help manage the IRC
channel plus some services such as memos (messages sent offline that you
read when you connect to the IRC network). I'm sure some users could assist
you with the basic IRC commands, but there's some basic info:

https://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml

Kind regards.
