 mailing lists, etc, from the old original "org" box (currently in the
 Undisclosed Location) to the new linode-based "new-org" box.

 Remaining Tasks:

 * ~~get basic webserver running~~
 * ~~move Mailman, list archives, cgi-bin/mailman control panels~~
 * ~~update MX records to send tahoe-lafs.org mail to new box~~

 stuff)~~
 * ~~move source trees, canonical darcs repos~~
 * ~~get post-commit hooks working~~
 * ~~get any cronjobs migrated~~
 * ~~move buildmaster~~, either get buildslave admins to update their
 configs, or wait for DNS to change
  * ~~add "buildmaster.tahoe-lafs.org" DNS name (pointing at new-org)~~
  * ~~tell buildslave admins to point buildslaves at that~~

 lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/ViewTickets}}}~~
 * ~~some buildslaves are failing to do darcs fetches. A local 'wget' of
