I think all the caching stuff was done by Brian a long time ago.  I
have wanted to upgrade the site for awhile, but I haven't been able to
find the time to commit to it in case something went wrong.

Spud, I really, really appreciate you jumping in and taking care of
this for us.

We have a few customizations, but nothing major - almost all of it is
textual and some form changes but don't worry about that.  Simply
upgrading to the newest dada code will make the site far more usable
than all of our minor changes in my opinion.
