Redcap-HermesWeb Transition Plan [Edit]

2010-08-09: After over two years of planning and work, the merger of the HermesWeb Wiki into Project: Redcap is complete. All that remains to be done is to make this page accessible at the address, www.redcap.org.

We've encountered technical difficulties in the renaming process. For the time being, what we've done is put the site online at redcap.andrewgronosky.us. This will be a permanent alias that will remain usable even after the redcap.org address is changed to point here.

• 2010-03-22: The free Web hosting service Geocities went offline on October 27, 2009.

It's a bit depressing to see that Saga pages that have been around since the mid-1990's have disappeared.
