>    * A calendar of events, which integrates with the one from the IGF
>      Community site at http://igf-online.net that has existed since
>      2007.  All IGF events are already added: see
>      http://www.igcaucus.org/calendar/2011-09.
>    * A new, modern theme (the old one was the Drupal default, making
>      our site look like thousands of others).
>    * Much nicer lists of members, with full names instead of usernames
>      (see http://www.igcaucus.org/list-members).
>    * Additional profile fields, including a long free text description,
>      and space to add your social networking and instant messaging
>      contact addresses.  Most of these synchronise with our membership
>      database, making the data available to other IGC Web applications.
>    * Resources added by members can now be free-tagged, and will be
>      listed chronologically and by tag on the resources page (see
>      http://www.igcaucus.org/resources).

>There are only two outstanding items that I am aware of:
>
>    * I haven't made the site multilingual, because this is something
>      that I can't do myself: it would require volunteers to translate
>      the existing content into each other language.  But in the future
>      if such volunteers step forward, it will be possible.
>    * I can't implement the planned single password on the mailing list
>      site (http://lists.cpsr.org/) and the IGC site
>      (http://www.igcaucus.org) without help from the CPSR people, whom
>      I've only recently contacted about this and am waiting to hear
>      back from.

>Enjoy the improvements!
