[Webteam] A Reminder - Georgia Tech Swiki Support is going away

[Ken G. Brown]

A reminder that the Georgia Tech Swiki Support is going away.
I see that the SqueakSwiki link at www.squeak.org still points to <http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/Squeak>.
Has this been planned for? Is there a backup in case of disasterous loss?
