Dear Carbusting WCNers, WCN-loving Carbusters, and bulletin readers!

As those of you following the bulletin - monthly carfree newsletter -
should have read earlier, there was a decision made late last year to
combine the Bulletin with Carbusters, and have both work in a combo way, on
website and electronic distribution (with the possibility for local
printing by interested orgs). Since then, an editors email group was
started, to oversee this project. Yet precious little else has happened.

I have come to realize that even on the editors group there are not a lot
of people with lots of time on their hands, and I now see that more people
will be needed who are enthusiastic, can at least commit to a certain (not
huge, but useful) amount of time, and then work towards the goal. However,
under the current conditions, I can not foresee myself mostly
single-handedly bringing this CB-Bulletin joining/transformation about.
Without additional help, i could at most agree to put out a simple
bulletin, as earlier, on a 2-3 monthly basis.

In order to do the transformation, we'd need someone with programming
skills (drupal or wordpress, CMS installation capacity), some graphic
design help, and editorial work help.

But this might also be the time to pause and reflect - is keeping the WCN
news organs going, something that is desirable? (some have noticed it
missing, and told me so) is it still something that can be of support to
the global carfree movement, even if the World Carfree Network itself is
not particularly active these times? If it is desirable to keep, are there
people around who have the will and the energy to help make it happen?

I'm happy to put in effort here - but it will be conditional on having a
strategy that works. However if it is time to decide to put this on the
backburner for now, and pursue other activities supportive of carfree
causes, i'm happy to hear what people think. if there is little comment and
mostly silence concerning this email, that is a kind of answer too.

Thanks,
Justin
