Hello, The website is nearly ready to be published. I can't believe I'm saying that

I didn't want to post here before I was certain I was happy with most of the new features. I spent all summer on it (goodbye dear sun!), and it still doesn't implement everything I want. In fact, if it were just me, I wouldn't publish it for at least another few months, but I guess there is a limit to how long I can have you wait. I'll try to make the whole website available to everyone at first. Then I'll decide whether it needs to be moderated or not, and whether I'll have to save some bandwidth and remove this or that. The only "big" thing left to do are: - Find a new server to make sure everything is screaming fast (my current one is definitely fast, but has some trouble specifically with the new beta website... Ouch!!), - Put all these news in the database so that when I implement a search engine (it is not yet ready...), you can search them as well. I still don't have a "due date", but I'm thinking late october-early november. Keeping my fingers crossed! And please bear with me while we transition to the new website-- there might be a lot of problems I haven't fixed yet. But they'll be fixed as soon as they're discovered, you can count on me. See you soon
