Hi all,
One issue we didn't discuss at the call is migration timing.
Specifically, do you want to keep the old site up until the new one
has its content updated or move to the new one at once and proceed to
update its content there.
The latter would be easier, there'd be no extra step to change the
domain names later, and I know Olga would prefer it. The only downside
would be that publishing a new website with obviously incomplete and
outdated information could be a bit confusing, but the old one is
already so out-of-date that I'm not sure it'd be much better to hang
on to it. (It could be kept online for reference as old.ncuc.org or
something like that for some time, if desired.)
