[chbot] A new website...

[Hanno Sander]

Richard,
That sounds like a good idea!  How about I keep the content up for another
month so you can easily migrate from the existing site.  I can of course
create backups of the database and file system, but unless you plan to
re-install joomla somewhere else I doubt that would help you much.  I just
checked, there isn't that much content, looks like 9 write-ups of meetings,
several links to picasaweb for photos, a programme for 2011, etc...
