It may take a while for Kevin to get it all done. There are over 15000
folders and ten times as many pictures to review.
There is no reasonable way for us to get all the entries moved to new
locations before the 28th. After all, some of us that used Brickshelf have
up to 10 entries. ;-)
I vote that we delay voting until Brickshelf is available and we turn around
and extend it until everyone has a chance to vote. Although, I foresee us
extending the voting a couple of weeks or so. :-(
