Website upgrade

I've just upgraded http://au.linuxchix.org/ and http://conf.au.linuxchix.org/ to Drupal 6. The benefits are, unfortunately, mostly behind the scenes. Some small changes:

  • you can now use OpenID to log in to your account once you've created it, go to "My account" and "OpenID Identities" to configure it
  • mailing list management is now fancier because it talks directly to Mailman through its web interface

I also hope that the persistant problem we've had with the site making people reset their passwords all the time is fixed by the upgrade.

Unfortunately our beloved katspice theme (the one in desert colours) is not compatible with Drupal 6, so I have TEMPORARILY disabled it. If someone else has time to update it let me know, otherwise I'll get to it in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, we're blue-blue-blue.
