If you want to see what the new site looks like...go here (temporary URL).

http://clearinghouse.ja-sig.org:10080/

TO ALEX:  I just noticed that the "Visit the news archive" link seems to be 
broken (I just fixed it by adding text/html as the content type for the 
first output element in for the News Archive xml-doc in the project 
definitions file).  If you built a zip for download recently you should do 
it again.

When you do that, let me know in case I need to change any links on the new 
JA-SIG HC site.  While Alex did most of the work setting it up I'm going to 
be maintaining it.
