Google Map Tile Overlays

We recently received a request to move an externally hosted site into our local Reason instance. The challenge is that the domain name is supposed to remain outside of the carleton.edu realm. Reason has never supported this natively, though it could be achieved with unpleasant hacks. With Reason 4 Beta 8, this will all change and subdomains and external domains will be fully supported.

Bonus benefit of this work: the reason_package folder will no longer have to be within the web tree.
