An XSS security vulnerability has been identified in lugod.org. I am
sure that it will need to be fixed, or.... fixed.

Hopefully, someone has the energy to step in an remedy the situation.
Maybe the static site will come quicker than anticipated. I would hate
to see the old info from the current site just "go away". I guess the

make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other
way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."
