Re: Site designs, upgrades, and Konqueror

Dave,

Chill!   I'm not blaming you for any of the problems.   We were disorganized,
that's all.   This was the *first* real press-splash release we've done, and
chaos is a consequence of that.

Oh.  Well, I was listening to Marc and Robert who I thought said we couldn't.

Also, there were some delays on the translation side, as I kept getting
corrections up until Thursday last week.  That can hopefully be fixed with
firmer deadlines in the future ...

It certianly seemed like an emergency at the time.   I had 50 e-mails in my
inbox about messed-up encodings, and you were asleep, Robert was
out-of-touch, and Devrim didn't know anything.

Now I know a lot more about how the website works ... and hopefully we'll have
a new infrastructure by 7.5/8.0.
