[CMA-L]

Hi

The website upgrade process continues (we shall probably remain in
'perpetual beta' like Google...) and more bells and whistles are being
added to the site by the day.  We've just this minute upgraded to the
latest version of the content management system and we expect
additional functionality from the platform.

For the time being anything that you might need from the old site is
still available
here:
