This guideline seems to fit TEA SIG activities well. Carel, the Newsletter editor is doing a great job, he is full of energy and ideas, and I am very grateful to him for putting so much work into the Newsletters. We intend to put articles from previous issues of the Newsletter on the Web, so new members can read good papers published in the past. The website has been up and running for a couple of years now, but we have decided to change its appearance. Carel has taken over the maintenance of the website from Joanna Teague, whom we thank for her contributions in the past.
Membership is rather stable.
The aim was to have 500 members in the year 2000, and with a bit of effort from all of us, it is not impossible to reach that aim. Please promote TEA SIG to colleagues, and do not forget to renew your own subscription. Finances were tight, mainly because of the cost of having three issues of the Newsletter published since last April. The latest report I got shows we have about 2.500 pounds in the bank, but that is before we paid for the February Newsletter. So, it is clear that we need to make profit on events and increased membership.
