Site Update Info

My original intent was to fix some problems with

the calendar section of the site, because we were

experiencing a lot of errors. The new software,

I was thinking, would avoid these problems.

Knowing that part of the sofware may have been altered,

I thought that an upgrade to the calendar code would

suffice to make things work.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out so easily. There were

a number of dependencies between parts of the application

that required upgrading some files which, in turn, were

used by other parts. This had a cascade effect which

pointed toward a total upgrade rather than a piecemeal

temporary fix.

The good news is that it has happened, more or less.

The bad news is that I must go and test different parts

of the site to make sure it's working, and that's

a time consuming process.

If there are parts of the site that are not working,

please drop a note to wildgift@mac.com<\/a>.
