I'm having a break from writing for the UKB. When Tomasz started it I told him I would write X amount in the period up to the end of year 2007 - it was my payback to him for unbelievable support.
So, I went beyond that but now I am not certain that I want to continue. I like the coummunity spirit and internet compact, where we share free stuff with each other, but I find that publishing requires ongoing commitment to keeping up with additional software (if only I could publish hassle free). Although I feel the UKB is a success it is a problem for me that more authors haven't come forward to sustain the opening effort. IMO the WordPress software, structure of the site, need to sign a legal for etc are holding the site back, and turning away authors, but AFAIK Tomasz is unlikely to make any changes there. I am looking at other software/sites where I might set up a NFP site on my own, or as a joint open effort with other AB users, as I do have more stuff (some I have started). Anyway, I dropped a dictionary on my PC tower and killed it (some UKB articles on it were not backed up - if it is a hard drive issue they may not be recovered) so it will be a while before I publish anything anywhere. Thanks to Tomasz, Herman, Fred and Dennis for UKB collaboration, especially Herman, who is a one in a million guy. Thanks to the forum for seeing me through my forum/publishing adoslescence. brian_z
