[André Riedel]

Nice. It is a one time update or will all changes be uploaded from now on?
BTW The background Map is a bit outdated.

> ***Apart from this big step, Kort itself has some new features:***
> - Upgrade to Sencha Touch 2.3 -> now all major browsers are supported (IE,

> - Thanks to our new database server, we can provide missions in the USA as

> - Our homepage kort.ch is available in English, too :)
