I will get the SCM migrated to the new server by Tuesday morning. This may
involve some brief cutover outage, and will involve some DNS propagation,
once it moves before the scm names find the new location, but I'll keep the
#sourcemage-admin channel updated on where things sit.

I will build a second VM in the same time frame that will be available as
devwww.sourcemage.org and will provide Vlad access on it so he can migrate
the website from his node. Once it's ready, we'll cut that over to be the
active www. That can also host whatever bugtracking system consensus wants
there to be.

That will leave mail on the old host, as broken as mail is. I'll continue
to work through that problem for a more maintainable solution, now that the
internet hates email forwarding.

There is some irony that part of the delay in migrating is me taking extra
consulting work on so I can continue to pay the monthly fees for the
hosting we have now, which is too costly for one person to carry this many
years and a main reason we need to migrate, but anyway.
