Does anyone know if this blurb from my Facebook newsfeed means that this site is going to be upgraded?

Hurra! Slekt og Data har fått kr 300 000 fra Sparebankstiftelsen DNB til å fornye nettjenesten Norway Heritage!

Scroll down this page on their website and you probably can find the whole story.

An influx of money and technology could be good for this site. I have in the past used the Slekt og Data website and their forum occasionally. However it turned into a subscription site which was not something I wanted. Hope they do not have plans for treating Norway Heritage the same way.

A paywall wouldn't be consistent with the stated ambition of a youth-friendly site.
