Hi!

I suppose that Ivo knows more about it, but I guess that it is a matter
for amaze.nl of updating the DNS records so that www.europython.org
points at what is currently registered as europy-develop.zope.nl.

That the site should need to be physically moved I doubt it. What can be
done otherwise (and already now) is to change the port number on which
europy-develop.zope.nl is running.

I will do some software updates before the site goes live tomorrow - to
make sure that it runs the later versions of the products.
