Hey Stephen,

The primary reason to change the Url is to clarify the Gallery brand.  
Many folks are confused by "menalto" in the project web site's URL.  
Many refer to us as Menalto's Gallery. Using galleryproject.org is one  
way to strengthen our identity.

As far as the web site design goes, I think we can improve the current  
layout and address some visibility issues for new users while giving  
regular visitors faster acces to what they need.

I don't think we need to change URLs, beyond this and we'll certainly  
take proper redirects into consideration.
