New MapServer website is live

[Fawcett, David]

This is somewhat repetitive, but definitely not over stated...

Thanks to Howard and Jeff for the many, many hours put into making the
new site so great!

David.

All,

The new MapServer website is now live.  There still may be some 
issues or things missing, but we took care to alias links to old docs 
so as to break as few bookmarks (and links in emails) as possible.

There may still be some growing pains, and I'm not sure how we'll 
respond to the load, but we have some strategies ready in case we 
need to deal with it.

Thanks very much to those who have worked so hard to make this 
happen.  It was over a year in the making.

- The #mapserver folks who tested profusely
- The Plone developers who answered my annoying questions
- Anyone else I missed

There will definitely be more features and documents added as time 
goes on.  We are still working on a document that describes how to 
contribute to the site.  Send me private emails if you find any bugs, 
or join #mapserver on IRC and we'll work through them together.

Thanks

Howard

PS.  Our site's styling currently looks like winter in Minnesota. 
Anyone intersted in doing some styling of the site (it's pure CSS), 
post your messages and thoughts on the mapserver-docs list.
