[4eyes] new lab website -- your project pages!

[Steffen Gauglitz]

Hello again,

looks like the backup system that is employed on the CS servers (server 
rotation every 30 min if I understand correctly) is causing issues for 
the "media" folder in which the Joomla images are stored -- the image on 
my page disappeared without a trace.
The text contents are not affected, as they are stored in a database.

Please go ahead with the project pages as described below, and have 
images for them ready (and maybe upload one for testing purposes), but 
don't spend too much time uploading images yet!

Thanks,
  Steffen
