+
+For those of you using our static site code for your own site, or following the
+progress, this update is for you. We have recently updated the code to move all
+hard-coded references specific to this site out to a configuration file where
+possible. This means we will very soon be moving the repo and starting up a new
+account solely for this sites software (so FLEAR can do what it was supposed to).
+
+Please keep a close eye for our next status update, which hopefully will be to
+announce the new repo and home for this project. In the meantime the code is
+ready for more eyes.
