I'm not sure I follow. http://www.openhdi.org/ works fine for me (I've
even just made it redirect to yourtopia.net -- though working before).
http://openhdi.org/ did not work because of no dns but i've just fixed
that (may take some time to propagate).

Great. Let's review. I'd also like to make the finishing touches to
yourtopia.net.

@Dirk, @Guo: do either of you guys or coder colleagues have time to
apply the final fixes we've been discussing. I unfortunately don't at
the moment but could help others who were seeking to do so. Perhaps we
should arrange another openeconomics catchup (perhaps we can integrate
this with the OpenSpending meetups:
http://wiki.openspending.org/Meetups which takes place bi-weekly with
next one a week tomorrow)
