Website updates

As you have seen no doubt, we've updated the website.   While it has a new look and feel, most of the effort has gone on behind the scenes.  We've upgraded plone and added some new features.  We've added forums for both the Community and Enterprise versions.  We will close the sourceforge.net forums soon.

I've been reading The Prize by Daniel Yergen. I've wanted to read it for quite some time and just ran across a copy at a yard sale. It is excellent. I'm about half-way through.
