[governance] Phase 1 of improvements to the IGC Web site

[Jeremy Malcolm]

Phase 1 of the improvements that I've been undertaking to the IGC Web site are complete.  These include:

Summary of posts to the governance list, recent Twitter posts, and our most recent statements, appear on the front page.
The Limesurvey polling software, and digress.it commenting software, have both been moved to our own Web space, and links provided from our main Web site (under "Statements").
Coordinators no longer need to edit the "Statements" page to post links to recent statements - if the "Statement" content type is used, they appear listed there automatically in chronological order.
Content has been re-organised, more logically, I think.
Coordinators can edit in rich text.
There is a search function.
The back end has been upgraded to the latest stable version.

Phase 2 of the improvements will be to add more interactivity to the site - blog space, wiki functionality, and hopefully to integrate Web site logins with the mailing list.
