[theforum] evolt.org article submission

[Tara Cleveland]

Hi Erika,

I think there was a lot of effort a few years ago to make some changes
and it fizzled out when it ended in... endless discussions. Since then
I think that that people who had put energy into it, well, ran out of
energy (and probably time). I know that's how it was for me anyway.

I'm happy to, and have the time to put some more energy into things
again now, so yeah, let's see if we can't poke people into either
making changes or letting us make some changes to at least tidy up
the site and maybe even make some more substantive improvements.

Are the broken links in the templates? Does it need to be changed by
someone on thecontent or thesite side?

I really appreciate all the gentle butt kicking you're doing - keep it up! :-)

Cheers,
Tara
