[Box-Admins] Re: request support to finish upgrade of source.squeak.org

[Levente Uzonyi]

Hi Chris,

I haven't checked the new zip file yet, but I suggest you set up the image 
on the server (make sure it has RFB installed). Once it's done, we can 
create the new nginx configuration on a test subdomain, and if it works 
well, we can switch over.
