One person at the moment has the task of treasurer, membership secretary, magazine designer and webmaster. He is overloaded with Quanta duties and has to make priorities. He has rightly chosen to make the website the least of these. The most urgent priority for Quanta is the magazine and members will have noticed a much improved print quality in the last issue, and also in the next that should be with them very shortly. Unseen to the members are experiments to investigate downloading and the indications from the first two download issues are that there are some difficult technical problems regarding file size and image quality to overcome. I think they can be overcome, but it will take time. Having seen the thorough way in which John Gilpin is working on the magazine, I am sure that when he has completed this job we shall see a much improved website. This raises the point that I raised in my last personal statement. Two members of the present committee are retiring and unless Quanta gets new blood on the committee - and there are only 10 nomination days left - then it could be too small to be viable. As far as membership and finance is concerned there is no reason why Quanta cannot exist for a minimum of another 5 years. As far as organisation is concerned the 2007 AGM could be the one where Quanta is wound up, Best Wishes, Geoff _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
