This web site is working, though.
The ECG project ended 4 years ago. It was followed by the ACS project.
http://acs.cs.rug.nl/

During these projects, several kernels for curved objects were developed
- 2d circular kernel (already in CGAL)
- 3d circular kernel (accepted by the editorial board, will be included 
in the next public release of CGAL)
- algebraic kernel for 2d algebraic curves (under review, will perhaps 
be in the next release too)
