I mentioned in our fundraising drive at the end of the year that we were
working on migrating to a new server.  This is a complicated process for
a number of technical reasons involving new versions of software,
improved security procedures in the new software that we have to accomodate,
etc, etc.

After extensive testing, I "pulled the switch" last night about 11pm PST.
The change goes into effect after varying amounts of time depending on how
your ISP looks up IP addresses.  I expect that everyone will be connecting
to the new server within 48 hours.

During the transition, there may be outages and there's a possibility of
rejected or misdelivered inbound mail.  I'll monitor inbound mail on both
the old and new servers in the hopes that nothing gets lost.  I recommend
if you submit using the Contact form that you keep a copy of what you typed
in -- or better yet, fill the form in by copying from a document you prepared
in a text editor.

If you don't see something you submitted get published within a couple of
days, please resubmit it or contact us via e-mail and let us know that something's
up.

Once the transition is completed, I'll be able to roll out some new features.
For the first time, starting in about a week, we'll be able to handle
attachments to mail sent to the rolls-1701 email address.   I am hoping to
improve the e-mail delivery reliability from the new server.  More on that
later...

During the transition, thank you for your patience!     --Jody
