[Lnc-business] LP.org update

[Patrick McKnight]

Does anyone know if inquiries are again being forwarded to affiliates? This
had been down and is extremely important.

Thanks,
Patrick McKnight

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and others know that we have not uploaded the historical content wanted or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,
