It's up at indymedia.org.au - I think that the dns entry got fscked
during the dns fixups. As far as I know, no one is gonna fix it till we
get the official go ahead from global.

It's all templated, so I guess anyone who wants to can upload layouts
and we can pick the best ones. 

It's really unlikely that we'll be able to do anything till cat move
their server in the next few days - not even an offer of free b/w got a
response from them.
