I've been meaning to do an update on clojure.org, now that it's been a 
little over a month since we switched over to the new site.

I'm very happy with everything I've seen on the operational side - the 
Clojure web site has had much less down time than the old host, is serving 
the site much faster, and has generally made things far easier to manage. 
We've had a few spiky days where traffic was about double the normal and my 
only knowledge of that was in noticing it in the stats after the fact, 
rather than alarms going off. :)

Bigger changes since initial deploy (see commits for gory details):
- We now support https and are serving about 1/3 of our traffic now via 
https
- Added robots.txt and bumped the Google indexer to look at our sitemap - 
thanks Daniel Compton
