I talked to Dimitris yesterday and he told me the issues arose by an update
of the wiki. It's usually not a big problem if there are issues with the
main site, now was just a time for this to happen.
We should discuss getting the new website online in the dev telco next
week. I think if 3-4 people sit down in an afternoon we can port most of
the content to Drupal. If it's wanted/needed I can volunteer for that and
I can also "volunteer" one or two of my students for it. I think we're at a
point where it's better to have a half-finished new website than the
current one.
Cheers,
Alexandru
