Cool, and lets release Vulkan n̶e̶x̶t̶ this week

Fixed that for you.

Interestingly at the moment the Vulkan site at khronos.org is giving HTTP 404: https://www.khronos.org/vulkan

I even followed the link from the home page, to make sure that I didn't type something incorrect.

EDIT: It's now working again, still strange for it to go 404; with the rest of the khronos.org working fine.

It's working now.

DirectX 12 is still basically non-existant in the real world and there won't be any serious titles before next year, so I feel like if Vulkan releases within the next 1-3 months, then the DirectX 12 headstart won't matter at all. Doesn't mean everyone will use Vulkan, but at least this argument/problem is gone. Also, with Valve releasing the Vulkan update for Dota 2 as soon as Vulkan is ready, there might even be a AAA Vulkan title before DX12, ha

Trouble is devs have acces to it, so it's already been worked on + the fact there's demos/alphas of games out with it now. (Excluding Ark of course but that may be different reasons )

That's why I feel that Vulkan has missed the boat so to speak

And so have selected developers access to Vulkan. Yes DX12 have headstart but if they release Vulkan this year it is not that big. And also it comes down to driver support.
Hopefully that 404 mean that there are some preparations for release which caused some misconfiguration of server.

They are also readying their resource pages on Github.

And there are already drivers that will be day one, and developers have had access to Vulkan, too. Plus there have been working demos, and even entire games on it (DOTA 2).
