What was new in these pages in 2000?

This page reports on the evolution of this collection of pages during the year 2000.  This helps to keep the "What's New" page to a manageable size.  The changes are reported in reverse order, with the latest at the top.  Dates show when pages were installed on Web server, which is not always the same as their internal dates of revision.  Revisions to the list of non-carillon things will not be reported, nor will minor (cosmetic) editorial fixes.

For changes which took place subsequent to 2000, see "What's New".
