Ideally, aye (or at the very least a redirect/alias from the old ones)
But I'd also like to see a much clearer association between members and
their content. And by content, I mean *everything* they do - evolters
content, artlcles, tips, directory entries, everything.
I want to see it all in the same place - a 'My folder'. If you like,
weo, peo and teo are just different views on that content, and
specifies what you see/can add in each place as well as the template
you see it in.
So you go to
http://work.evolt.org/members/martinb
http://play.evolt.org/members/martinb aka
http://evolters.org/members/martinb
http://test.evolt.org/members/martinb
and you get the appropriate content types (articles, blog entries,
review requests respectively).
But you go to
http://evolt.org/members/martinb
and you see it all.
So an evolters.org membership just means that you can add content types
exclusive to membership.

Could maybe have the frontdoor as a user preference?
a) weo
b) peo
c) teo
d) portal
After all, we're only talking about one page?
