Hi Cathy,
I agree that volunteers are key to making LSA work. Let me do some
thinking and create an outline of what I think needs done. I will
communicate with Wayne on it as well since it is all his legacy.

David

Hi David,
We very much appreciate your interest, and your knowledge base. I
second your conclusion that this should be taken up by the LSA as
opposed to an individual. However, the LSA relies heavily on
individuals who are willing and have the time to serve the wider lute
community by applying a skill set they already have to needs the LSA
has. If you are open to being involved in the LSA in this way, do stay
in the conversation! This isn't a job description just yet. It's
guidance we might need at the moment, I would think.
Regards,
Cathy

Nancy,
I want to strongly encourage the direction you are taking with LSA
taking over responsibility for continuing Wayne's work. I run a number
of sites for non-profits and have run [3]eda.org for the EDA industry
(until we shut it down). It is really important for the work to be an
organizations instead of an individual. That helps to ensure continuity
and makes it easier to find.
I have strongly considered offering to take over the mailing list, tab
software archives, mailing archives, lutes for sale, etc... But, I have
not done so since I did not want it to be an individual effort.
Wayne, thank you so much for all that you have done. It has been of
immense help over the years to so many people. A great testimony to
your love and dedication to the lute and its community.
Regards
David Smith

I think the LSA might be able to take over the lutes for sale and lute
list from Wayne. I am checking with people now and hopefully we can get
this organized ASAP. We will have a new LSA website this fall - it has
taken quite a while to get our site re-organized to make it more
useful, The new site will include things like our Facsimiles Collection
in a more easily searchable format, as well as archives of all old LSA
publications.

I have been running this lute mail list since 1998, and it has
been interesting and fun. Now I am retiring from my job at
Dartmouth
College, and when I retire the computers that I have run will be
shut
down. This includes the mail servers that run the lute mail list.
So it is time to retire from running the lute mail list too. I will
also be closing my lute web page, my lute tablature page, and "Lutes
For Sale" web page.
If someone wants to take up running the lute mail list I suggest
that they announce it on my list in the next month, while my list is
still running. My list runs using software that I wrote, and I
don't
recommend that someone else try to use it. I don't know the last
day
yet, but I will make an announcement when my list actually closes.
Wayne
