Hello All

We have embarked on a project to re-vamp our web page
http://www.zsd.co.za. We have installed a new server which uses 
"Zope" a very flexible application/content manager solution for 
hosting the page.

There is a lot of new material on the site and with the new server, 
we hope to publish new information and updates on a regular basis.

For the moment the site still looks the same as the the old one. A 
revision of the "aesthetic" look is in the pipeline.

There has been some effect for users who host pages on our servers. 
Our old webmail server "nimbus.zsd.co.za" has been retired from 
webpage duties.  When you upload pages please ftp your pages to your 
own domain name, ie "www.<domain>.co.za". 

If you are uploading your personal home pages ie pages with URL's 
like  http://www.zsd.co.za/~<username> please ftp them to 
"www.zsd.co.za".  As part of the upgrade we have introduced a new 
format for these URLs, they will become 
http://users.zsd.co.za/~<username> so we can distinguish them from 
pages served from the new server. The old URLs still work, however 
they are "depreciated" in favour of the new one.  For more 
information see http://www.zsd.co.za/support/webpages/upload.


Regards

Ian Forbes
