Wrt Gtk2Hs, I've copied the files but I think I need to dump the data  
base that backed up the WordPress CMS. I have no clue about these  
things which led me to ignore the migration in the hope that  
everything would be fine. I think I need somebody with (My)SQL  
knowledge to install a server on community.haskell.org and to copy  
over the database contents from the oldhaskell.org server.

After that, I can have a stab at getting WordPress running again  
against the reinstated database content. So if anybody (with root  
access?) can do the mirgration of the content, then that would be swell.

Cheers,
Axel
