The original Working Group Forums on the main EDA website remain open, and are where most of the Forum content still resides. Go to the original Forums if you are seeking those resources.
(Reminder: Forum access requires you to log in to the site with your EDA account Username and password.

All content in the original Forums will be copied over to the new 2.0 website, but this is a manual process, and will take some time.
However, it will take less time if Working Group members would like to help. It is copy-and-paste work, using the Content Editor tool.
You will soon learn everything you need to know about posting and composing pages on the EDA site (or any other Drupal-based website).

The Transition to EDA 2.0
Exclusive of the new Forums, and the new EDA Webstore (coming next), all other EDA website content will remain for the time being on the original EDA website location. Migration of original site content to the new 2.0 website will take place gradually over a longer timeline.
When all the content has been copied to the 2.0 site, the original site will be turned off and the ElectionDefenseAlliance.org domain will be turned on at the 2.0 site.

Skipping Between EDA1 and EDA2
Navigation links in the top-level menu systems of both sites, will shuttle you back and forth between EDA1 and EDA2,depending on where the pages you are seeking, actually reside.
Because your EDA Web account Username and password are the same for both sites, you will be able to switch back and forth
with no problems.
