Hi Dave,
The new web site has been in prototype for a while. Steve Tekell and I
just replaced the SEEK site an hour or two ago with the new wiki-based
site. We were going to let it run over the weekend, then Steve was
going to send an email on Monday to everyone in SEEK explaining the new
site and how to login and edit things. So its hot off the press. But
feel free to give it a try. Editing is pretty simple, although the
syntax is slightly different than the site you put up earlier. Logging
in is controlled through our LDAP system, so the same user accounts that
will eventually be used in the EcoGrid will be used here to log in to
the site. See this page for more information:
