Hi Louis-- Good to know you're still around frankly! [?]
Ditto Dave's response...if you just let up know what pages have been changed that would be great! We brought a great deal over, but, as we're discovering, much needs to be fine tuned and/or redone. I am actually working on the "old/new" site today! Hopefully it won't be too many and we can try a re-pull on a weekly basis or something. Or, as Rob suggests, file an issue with through the new BZ and include changed pages as attachments would be ideal so we make sure we have the changes barring any unforeseen outages.
