Tonight we bring a rather nice status update, I think. We're almost entirely moved off of WebFaction's server. Christoph is working on converting the 1.x docs to Sphinx. That's the last big hurdle. In addition, this is the final time I'll be posting a status report exclusively to the mailing list. One of the pages that I'll be creating this week will be updated regularly as news from the TG world. Not sure what all that will encompass, not yet, but it will be done. But, enough of that:
*What Got Done?* Actually, a lot of good stuff got done. Thanks to Diez, F. Poirotte, and Alessandro Molina, we've improved the beta.turbogears.org website in fairly significant ways. We turned all the static content that was being served by Paster into static content being served by Apache. F. Poirotte asked the right question, Diez's response explained the problem in such a way that I finally understand it well, and Alessandro did some work on the docs that helped show me how to do the TW resource extraction. I put all of that knowledge to use over the weekend, and got rid of the /toscawidgets/resources/ in the url problem once and for all on the new site. I'm happy. We got trac.turbogears.org moved to the new server. Tomorrow morning, the DNS entries will be updated. We've gotten the /2.0/docs and /2.1/docs urls fully migrated. I've also added in the work from Christoph to use the new theme for the 2.1 docs. Eventually, we'll merge all the docs down to 1 single set of pages. For now, though, they can be viewed at http://beta.turbogears.org/2.0/docs/ , http://beta.turbogears.org/2.1/docs , http://beta.turbogears.org/2.0/downloads/ , http://beta.turbogears.org/2.1/downloads/ I think we've reached a point where we can complete the move by the next status update. It finally feels realistic. *Where Are We Now?* Alessandro has begun working on the tickets, and I'd like to say thank you to him for that. Once we complete this move, I'll begin my own work on them. Most of the functions provided by the WebFaction server are now hosted elsewhere. It's not totally done, but it's close. *What Will Get Done This Week?* This week is, for me, mostly a focus on cleanup and content. We have a CMS on the new server, and I intend to begin using it fully. We're going to keep new content coming, and keep the site more alive with it from now on. I do have one bit of bad news, though it (hopefully) won't affect me much: I'm in the market for a job again. Ideally in Central NJ or Central/Eastern PA. If anybody knows of anything, I'd like to hear about it. I'm not currently unemployed, but I do want out of where I am. -- Michael J.

Machines fail too. Computers are machines that are managed by humans, the fallout from failure can be spectacular. Your responsibility is to deal with failure, to anticipate it and to eliminate it as far as is humanly and economically wise to achieve.
