[Lnc-business] LP.org update

[Wes Benedict]

You may have seen complaints lately that our LP.org website was 
intermittently failing to load, instead showing an "error establishing a 
database connection" message.

We believe that problem has been resolved.

Although I am of the superstition that nothing is more likely to break a 
website than to write a note saying it is fixed (on a Friday night 
before leaving work for the weekend), I guess I feel I need to run it 
through this extra superstition exercise to verify its robustness or to 
expose weaknesses that still need addressing.

The website was fixed by having our design firm move it and reinstalling 
it to a new hosting service, as was our plan back in December.

Back at the December LNC meeting, we had discussed issues with the 
website, and part of the resolution of that discussion was that I'd be 
having our website moved to try to resolve many technical issues with 
it. Since that meeting, things got even worse with the website, with it 
failing to even display at all half the time, but now I think we're on 
the right track.

We have not added all of the content that needs to be added, or made 
lots of other improvements that need to happen. But, now that the 
website has been moved and installed in its intended new destination, 
and we think it's stable, that means we are now busy working and making 
progress addressing the other various issues related to the website.

I'm copying Mr. Moulton because he has been especially diligent helping 
us to realize the shortcomings of our website changes. I did want to let 
him and others know that we have not uploaded the historical content 
wanted or resolved dealing with the many historical links that no longer 
work.

We had been in kind of a holding pattern, waiting on the website to be 
moved and reinstalled before working to add content and improve the 
design. Now that it's moved, we're free address the other issues.

Thanks,
