Sorry, unavoidable conflict precluded attending Colin's talk. =(

I'm not suggesting this as an either-or. Is there any reason that
we couldn't keep the Halcyon account, even if we move part or all
of the site to the pm.org server? Hell, at very least put a redirect
in place from seattle.pm.org. The consistency angle that I mentioned
was simply from the perspective of seattle.pm.org being an easier URL
to remember; I wasn't suggesting a need to more tightly integrate our
organizational strucure with PM as a whole.
The fact that we're not running any perl on the site right now is a
chicken-and-egg problem if Halcyon doesn't offer the ability do so.
And even if they do offer it, why shouldn't we evolve? Our site
should be glowing masterpiece! A paragon of perlocity shining in
the distance! A fully interactive extravaganza that can cream you
in a game of chess! (well, maybe that part's a bit much)
If we still want to use a Halcyon dial-up for demos, great, but that
is a distinct issue from where the site resides. The mailing list is
already elsewhere, so "everything must be in the same place" is not
an excuse.

He's coming back? Burly!
