I think you'll be surprised how little actual content there is on the Ning
site.  Plus Ning makes it fairly painless to export what data we want to
keep.

IMO, we can migrate the essential info in advance of Beijing (e.g., blog
posts, charter, officers), setup some static pages for each group (e.g.,
e-Team) and do the rest as we can.

I think it'll be important to show publicly we've been working on this (in
addition to sharing w/the Constituency all the work being done behind the
scenes).

Done.  (we should archive the old one on the VPS when its setup)

I've given you admin privileges as well.

As I said above, we'll have very little to actually migrate.  The blog
posts export easily. The groups are largely defunct or shells w/no actual
data, so probably no need to migrate them.  The other handful of pages are
static and copied with a couple clicks.  AFAICT, the only possibly labor
intensive part is if/how we migrate the member pages.
