Kia ora koutou

This looks great! I'm sad to see the forums go, but you're right that
they never really took off. Is there a plan to archive the postings in
some form, or should I do that myself before the old site disappears?
I'm excited to hear about the new community engagement strategy
Richard refers to in his intro to the upgrade.

One question though, what has become of all the case studies that Jane
produced for the site? This seems to have disappeared down the rabbit
hole along with the user accounts. Also, will there be more case
studies researcher and written? I think it's really encouraging for
people to see others successfully testing the waters before they take
the plunge themselves.
