No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

“The unemployment rate ticked up a little bit from 8.1% to 8.2%, only 69,000 jobs created. So that's less than half of what economists had predicted would be created,” said Thomas "Danny" Boston, professor in the School of Economics. “It's bad on the surface and better underneath. [There is] a net increase of almost 1 million people having come into the labor market over a period of two months and the unemployment rate only ticked up by 0.1%. That means some significant jobs have been created.” Source: CNN – June 1, 2012
