Going Live

With any luck, today will be the biggest change to the W5YM website in over five years. This website migration will hopefully make the site more friendly towards current and future supporters. This is accomplished by using the Drupal content management system. We hope that in the near future, this system will allow members to contribute stories and pictures effortlessly to the website in a way that looks professional.

Currently, the new website does not contain everything the old website did. However, all this content is still preserved in the /oldsite/ folder. As all of the content is updated and migrated to the new layout, the old site will eventually be removed.

Also, this site may appear to be somewhat "unfinished," and that's because it is unfinished. We have many ideas for improving and tweaking this system. Delaying the site changeover for these polishing touches would be a disservice to the users by keeping the old (mostly) static site up.

If we have missed something, or broken a feature that you use, let us know immediately so we can fix it. I expect our polishing to last for a while since none of us have a lot of free time, but it will be finished.
