As you can see, we made it through the first part of our transition, bringing over our two years worth of content --- over a thousand articles and nearly twelve thousand comments, minus only those for the past five days -- intact. And we came out with the week's issue. Effectively, though we have reached the door, we have yet to walk through it.
We expect to spend the next week meticulously combing our content and creating relevant indexes, building menus, incorporating feeds, creating work flows and editorial policies, squashing Drupal theme bugs, configuring our feeds and custom views, figuring out how to email notices of publication, and more.
Thanks for sticking with us. We promise to be worth the wait.
Comment here to let us know how you like or dislike the new look, and what else you think we ought to be doing. We're listening.
