StartupIsrael upgraded

StartupIsrael was upgraded today (if anyone is interested, we upgraded to Drupal 6.x from 5.8). Most of the changes are infrastructure related so you won't notice much, but hopefully the site should be faster now, more stable and more secure.

If you do find any bugs, glitches or you have any comments, please let us know!

StartupIsrael gets an infrastructure upgrade

I'm happy to announce that we upgraded our infrastructure from Drupal 4.7.4 to Drupal 5.8. As a reader you will not find many differences, but hopefully it will prove a more stable, safe and quick system.

If you do find any bugs or glitches, please let us know...
