d'oh. Updated.
so, as far as I got it, next steps would be:
1) data migration – Jan and Alexander, could you handle that?
2) granting access (= creating accounts, preferrably admin accounts, if no one
is opposed; accounts needed for:
- Noah
- Alexander (see step 1)
- Lena
- … ?
3) updating design (include new header + tagline)
4) notifying dev@ about the change
5) posting last week's weekly news ;) (can do that as soon as I got access)
6) post promotion
7) check if categories are correct; we should also keep in mind to tag at least
new posts correctly
Anything else? :)
