[Rebecca Kahn]

*Welcome to the new look P2PU Weekly update. We'll be sending you all the
news about site developments, new study groups and courses, and general P2PU
news, once a week, straight to your inbox.

   - *Want to see what's happening on the new P2PU Beta site?
     *If you haven't yet had a look at the new P2PU site, head over to our home
   page <http://new.p2pu.org/en/> to learn about the project and see the
   study groups and courses on offer.


   - *Hang on - 2 sites? What's the deal?*
   Yes, we're so good, we currently exist in 2 different places. But not for
   long! While the old P2PU site is still up and running, a brave team of
   pioneering organisers and coders have been working away to build a wonderful
   new site, with some fantastic new features, and equally exciting new
   courses. We're going to be migrating to the new site really soon, so keep an
   eye on your email for news about the move.

*In the meantime, take a look at the Help Desk
group<http://new.p2pu.org/en/groups/p2pu-help-desk/>on the new site
for answers to any questions you may have, and regular
updates about the new site's features. *
