Sigh... I do wonder when and who did the move it was of course helpful -
but no real point in doing it unless we all decide at the same time and
shut down SF too. :)

Ok, I think we should re-make the move. Anyone against? :) I am guessing
not.

The move that had been done seemed like a proper one (full history
preserved etc) so it would be nice if we could just redo it. :)

Anyone up to it? I am not sure about SSH access, etc - it was a long
while since I fiddled on SF.

PS. I am on IRC, more or less all week. :)
