(Almost) Live

We're hours away ... maybe ... from being a real news site. Alpha and two rounds of beta testing have been completed (thanks to Rachel Bailey and the JOUR8350 class for pushing the site around and not breaking too many things).

Some last tweaks to clean out the database today, add in another group of contributors (from the JOUR3710 class) and start posting live (or evergreen) content.

Later today, the site will migrate to its primary address and won't be hidden anymore. A message will go out to faculty saying the site is ready for use and we'll sked a meeting for students to come join the fun.

OH! And Steve Smith has approached me looking to partner with NewsSource15. We aren't building just a site, we're building bridges.
