+<NAME>New home for our main website</NAME>

+		It has been many years since we were using SourceForge.net. It is the very first home
+		for our project, and it served us very well. However, we have to move on, and we were
+		looking for a new home. Last year Florian Schicker, CEO of
+		<a href="http://easyname.at">easyname GmbH</a> approached us with a thrilling proposal
+		to donate a server and host it in their Data Centre. And that makes it so special, that
+		it is "because they are veeeery big fans of the good old scumm games"!
+		Go, look at <a href="http://www.easyname.com/en/company/team">company teampage in that fancy scumm-feeling</a>!
+		A really generous proposal and completely unexpected.
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		Thus, we're moving. First we move our main website and downloads, and you probably
+		already noticed the speed boost thanks to the new service. Also, we say goodbye to
+		the advertisements during downloads, as they were provided by SourceForge.net. The only
+		ads that will be associated with this project from now on are the ones we want to do by ourselves
+		(and that, of course, includes easyname.at, look at their nice logo in the right pane). Eventually,
+		we will move more services to the new server, and perhaps even extend it with something new.
+	</p>
+
+	<p>
+		So please join us in our joy of a new home!
