New domain!

An update as of today - BoroondaraWiki has evolved from its temporary .xyz domain name to the permanent .org domain. The old boroondarawiki.xyz will still continue to redirect to the current site for the foreseeable future. If this has broken anything or caused any issues, please let me know.
