[Charlug] Website/Mailing List status

[C. Michael Pilato]

Really?  The time-sensitive bits seems to involve exactly these:

   * backing up all the data from the current host(s).

   * getting some sort of charlug.org web presence up on a new host
     (could be a single static splash page with content from the current
     homepage).

   * getting some sort of mailing list configuration up and running on
     a new host (at a minimum, copying subscribers lists, with a preference
     for migrated archives, too).

Nothing here forces the redesign to happen now.  But I would suspect that
it's easier than a full site migration.  That said, I'm not on the hook to
manage that migration, so you can safely ignore me.  Those doing will
prevail over those merely saying in the end (which is as it should be).  :-)
