Two weeks later

Wow! A lot has happened since my post on 9/27 (State of the network, state of the blog). We asked for ideas and volunteers, and we got both. Some of the ideas are big ,  and will take further thought, but some others identified quick and easy fixes that we could take on immediately. Because [...]

I don’t know what happened either

Apologies to the new member bloggers who have been waiting most patiently in the queue, and blog readers waiting most patiently by the RSS feed. Other parts of my life took [...]
