I can't get in since the last 50 minutes and got a confirmation (see alpha blog) from Taylor Hainlen that seems to indicate that the GW firewall is back up again (which should only come back on Monday).
If you are still connected or can connect (again) then please let me know. This place is easier to monitor as the alpha blog doesn't allow to easily check the last post. And it likely is a place people will look if they have problems.
It has been down for nearly 3 hours.

50 minutes was all I tried. Couldn't find any mention of it on the alpha blog - which doesn't mean there isn't any - just that it is difficult to search for.
At least 1 dev knows - but it is really late now in the US - suprised I got an answer at all.
If you know the link of the settlement checking every minute please share it here.

I should clarify, my script checks if the server responding to connection requests. If the server is locked up but still responding to requests, I can't detect that. I can only say for sure if it's communicating on the TCP port it uses for auth/data.
It's useful for purposeful up/down monitoring though (ie when the devs take the server offline or put it online).
I'm willing to work on a more comprehensive server status script later down the road, but I'm heading out of town shortly for vacation xD I'll see what I can do in 2 weeks time.
EDIT: I'll share what I'm using so far with everyone in the Alpha forums in case other web admins want to implement a server check and expand on it.
