There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. 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 quiet unveiling of a new bike-sharing program at Georgia Tech last week provided an occasion for the usual self-promoting speeches by corporate types and grip-and-grin photo ops with elected officials. But if the little-publicized event leads to the successful results its champions are rooting for, it could come to represent one of the more auspicious of a recent series of watershed moments in Atlanta's fitful, foot-dragging development into a bike-friendly city. With viaCycle and City Hall are hoping to expand the program beyond Georgia Tech into neighboring Midtown and downtown.
