Yes, we're making progress. We have a full IT organization here, so the startup is taking a little longer than using a few graduate students, but it will have all of the advantages of a full organization behind it.

Has there been any progress on moving the web site yet, perchance?

Here's a first shot at what services I think we need:

- DNS hosting
- Subversion (or some version control system)
- Wiki
- Web site hosting
- Mailing list hosting
- Searchable mailing list web archives

Rich indicated that he wanted a simple "web registration system" so that he can get an accurate head count for meetings. That would likely come after the initial move to the new site -- perhaps even a wiki could be a temporary workaround...?

FWIW, I notice that whois lists a name/address at Argonne as the owner of the "mpi-forum.org" domain. Whatever changes are made will first need to coordinate through Argonne to get the DNS setup.
