[Historic] OHM Server!

[Jeff Meyer]

Shekhar & the Topomancy team -

Thanks so much for putting this together! Indeed, this will rock!

Having these resources will be extremely helpful for moving things forward.

I'm hoping to have the Rails Port set up and running shortly and we should
be ready for historical imports very soon.

Now, it's up to us to make the most of this valuable contribution!

Onward HO!
Jeff
