--bcaec5171ebfbc59ff04d6a38851 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi all, Thanks to everyone for comments, and nice to also read yours, Sam. This has been a positive process, as in the meantime we have received extra help, and happily we have someone who can tend to the programming side and also someone to do extra graphic design work. Once we have the new format up and ready, it will again be time to find more people to help with the editorial group. I hope we'll recruit some people for that as well, it should be getting exciting soon with new layout and look and possibilities! And yes, it is all about streamlining and making it easier to do, both for editors and translators. So we hope to be back on line soon. Could also be interesting to look at alternative ways of making media, such as broadcast bulletins - nice idea! And someone has suggested that WCN work the twitter levers. So if anyone else wants to comment on this thread, feel free to, otherwise, whoever is interested in being on the editorial team, let me know and I can invite you.

However if it is time to decide to put this on the<br> backburner for now, and pursue other activities supportive of carfree causes,<br> i'm happy to hear what people think. if there is little comment and mostly<br> silence concerning this email, that is a kind of answer too.<br> <blockquote type=3D"cite"><br> Thanks,<br> Justin<br> <br> --<br> --<br> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google<br> Groups "World Carfree Network" group.<br> To post to this group, send email to <<a href=3D= "mailto:carfree_network-/[email protected]" target=3D"_blank">mailto:carfree_= network-/[email protected]</a>><a href=3D"mailto:carfree_network@googlegro= ups.com" target=3D"_blank">carfree_network-/[email protected]</a><br> Replies are sent to the author of the message.<br> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to<br> <<a href=3D"mailto:carfree_network-unsubscribe@g= ooglegroups.com" target=3D"_blank">mailto:carfree_network-unsubscribe@googl= egroups.com</a>><a href=3D"mailto:carfree_network-unsubscribe@googlegrou= ps.com" target=3D"_blank">carfree_network-unsubscribe-/[email protected]</a><= br> For more options, visit this group at<br> <<<a href=3D"http://groups.google.com/group/c= arfree_network?hl=3Den?hl=3Den" target=3D"_blank">http://groups.google.com/= group/carfree_network?hl=3Den?hl=3Den</a>><a href=3D"http://groups.googl= e.com/group/carfree_network?hl=3Den?hl=3Den" target=3D"_blank">http://group= s.google.com/group/carfree_network?hl=3Den?hl=3Den</a>><a href=3D"http:/= /groups.google.com/group/carfree_network?hl=3Den?" target=3D"_blank">http:/= /groups.google.com/group/carfree_network?hl=3Den?</a>hl=3Den<br> ---<br> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups<br> </blockquote> "World Carfree Network" group.<br> <blockquote type=3D"cite">To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an<br= > </blockquote> email to <mailto:<a href=3D"mailto:carfree_network= %252Bunsubscribe@" target=3D"_blank">carfree_network%2Bunsubscribe@</a><a h= ref=3D"http://googlegroups.com" target=3D"_blank">googlegroups.com</a>><= a href=3D"mailto:carfree_network+unsubscribe-/[email protected]" target=3D"_b= lank">carfree_network+unsubscribe-/[email protected]</a>.<br> <blockquote type=3D"cite">For more options, visit<br> </blockquote> <<<a href=3D"https://groups.google.com/groups/o= pt_out" target=3D"_blank">https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out</a>><= a href=3D"https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out" target=3D"_blank">https= ://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out</a>><a href=3D"https://groups.google= .com/groups/opt_out" target=3D"_blank">https://groups.google.com/groups/opt= _out</a>.<br> <blockquote type=3D"cite"><br> <br> </blockquote> <br> <br> <br> ----- =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0= =A0 ### =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0-----<br> J.H.
