Hi all,

Just spent the morning deleting some 30,000 spam pages from the site. I don't think I deleted any legitimate changes, but I may have missed something.

I've locked down the site completely now. No new users, no new pages by existing users (cleaning out the spam accounts is too hard).

Instead, I'll proceed with the plan to migrate the existing content over to github, where we can use a distributed model for editing and pulling changes, and then accept Amazon's generous offer to publish the static opensearch.org site on S3.

If anyone objects, please speak now, otherwise I'll likely start on that project this weekend.

-DeWitt

Nice! Your efforts to keep OpenSearch alive are appreciated!
