OK - just spent the weekend getting the new ESME site up and running - http://esme.staging.apache.org/

The advantage is that we can meet a variety of the branding requirements with the new layout. Take a look at see what you think. @Joe what is necessary to replace the old site was the new one? I tried the "[Publish Site] " link in CMS but it doesn't seem to work. D.
