New RS theory site, rstheory.org, is up for testing

ISUS is moving over to a non-profit TLD (top level domain) to go with our non-profit organization status. The new site, built on Drupal 6, is up for testing at http://www.rstheory.org
I am still in the process of debugging--several of the contributed modules are still in "beta" state and are pretty buggy. Video and the photo library are working; the audio recordings of Larson's lectures can be downloaded, but not played online (the player is not showing up on the page; haven't figured out why yet). The WYSIWYG editor (What You See Is What You Get) has some serious problems and has been disabled for the moment until I can patch some corrections. But there is a nicer menu system, using DHTML, that allows you to browse the menu tree without having to reload the page, making navigation much faster.
I have completely redone the subdomain/affiliated site system so you get different menus and options for ISUS, the Library, the Larson Biography site and Store, yet able to keep the same login.
I am also in the progress of porting Larson's books over to the Drupal book standard, so they will again be searchable online. I have "Nothing But Motion" completed and am working on "Universe of Motion".
I still need to update the "themes" of the site, but that will take some custom code and there is a bit of a learning curve associated with it.
I am no longer maintaining the rstheory.COM site; all new work will be on the .ORG site. Once the bugs have been worked out, I will alias .com to .org so existing links will continue to work.
