Not yet.  JA and I have been going over the details.  I imagine we'll put off
the actual move until after the meeting if possible. It'll depend on whether our
existing server can remain available that long.

The stats page reports it as 0.7.2.3-Phoenix, but I'm fairly sure it's been
patched to a later version.  As for modules, there's the Calendar, Photo Gallery
and Wiki. The 'About Aclug' and 'Mailing List Manager' are manually added pages
that are written with special code inserted to make the required calls to wrap
it inside a 'normal' postnuke page. Some things may have to change when we move
to the new server since it's a hosted environment.

I really thought most of it was self evident, but perhaps not. I'm not sure how
to best present this. If we had a live connection, it would be easy.
