Dear fellow-Wiggies
As you may be aware, one of our two IT officers, Betsy
Pennebaker, has returned to her native Vermont and is no
longer able to help us as WIGS website manager. Luckily,
our other IT officer, Andrea Reiter (Southampton) is
carrying on. But in their division of labour, the www has
been Betsy's preserve.
We are now looking for a volunteer to take over from Betsy.
She has advised me that all this kind person needs is 'a
general lack of fear of computers, an interest in designing
things, and the ability to go out and buy a book on HTML'.
Betsy will bring the WIGS www page up-to-date before
handing over to her successor. She also generously offers
to advise and help after that, especially with regard to
'how to post the web pages'.
So, PLEASE let me know if you or anyone you know (a
postgrad?) would be prepared to take over. Do have a look
at our web page (http://www.wigs.ac.uk) to wet your
appetite. As far as I am aware the work is not an onerous
one. And judging from Betsy's reponses it can be
distinctly enjoyable. There is a lovely WIGS Committee
which meets once a year (all expenses paid) and will be
delighted to welcome its new IT officer in their midst.
With all good wishes for a happy new year
Gisela
