The Wakinikona 2.0 package ready for server upload.

Attn:
Larry Kamahele: Cultural Media Director
Anne Dahlin: Club President
Rob Dahlin: Brah has da keys to da host server...

The Wakinikona 2.0 package ready for server upload.
I will need login info from Rob to gain access to the host server in order to upload the site directories.
The upload and debugging process may take up to 48 hours while debugging and directory routing takes place.
The current site will stay in operation and will not be replaced until the new site structure is qualified to be stable.
It is suggested that the current site be downloaded to Rob's hard drive if there is anything you may want to keep for later use.

I can start the upload delivery process as soon as you folks are ready.

Thanks,

Eric Baker
