- | * Configured a redirect back to old systems for user pages for short-term. | ||
- | * Will redirect to users.sluug.org, which can remain in place after the full migration. | ||
- | * This will allow us to move the web site without having to move the users. | ||
- | * Need to determine how to do the mailing list sign-up pages. | ||
- | * Need to determine how to proceed with non-SLUUG sites we host. | ||
- | * Next step is to test the new site, before we point our production DNS there. | ||
- | * Make sure everything is there and working. | ||

- | * Make sure the redirect to user pages is working. | ||
