Talking to Elton, university documents

markito3 — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:37:33 +0000

We agreed to put the university directory under Hall-D/gluex_secure. Note that this moves it to a new server. Must remove the password configuration once it gets there.

Next step is to fill the directory with other content.
