+1 on Matt’s idea, maybe we get a base website design and some sample pages migrated, and agreed on with this group first.
Is it worth maybe having a virtual meetup to discuss the design etc (maybe some form of webex or Skype call?) to try work to some sample? What time zone Matt and Bruce are you in? then we could do his hackathon idea to get through the cruft manually, 1600+ some of that must be out dated or irrelevant.
