Editor - Hyperviews:Online
St. Louis Chapter
We've had a tremendous reception in 1998, with over 4000 views of Hyperviews:Online and countless e-mail thanking us for providing practical and usable information. That's a tradition we'll continue in 1999.
Going forward in 1999, we have plans for four issues at least, and more if we continue to get as much quality content as we're getting. The schedule is roughly:
- First of March
- End of April (right before the 1999 STC International Conference in Cincinnati, OH)
- August
- October.
These dates are subject to a little wavering, as our stellar "all volunteer" team sometimes has "obstacles" that we have to overcome. 1998's list included broken hands, family emergencies, job changes, and so forth.
Not to toot our own horn too loudly, but if you're going to be in Cincinnati for the 1999 STC International Conference, make time to attend our session on how we put together Hyperviews:Online. You'll hear the lessons we've learned about:
- Long distance teams
- Working with volunteers
- Launching, relaunching and relaunching again, the same site within one year
- And much more...
Finally, I wanted to say a few words of thanks for the many contributions to Hyperviews:Online in 1998. A special thanks goes out to fellow staff members Karen Mobley (assistant editor) for her tireless work on our new design and to Scott DeLoach for getting us going in the right direction as well as doggedly pursuing volunteers for articles and other assistance.
My thanks also goes out to our 1998 columnists. They have provided a solid foundation to build feature articles upon.
And certainly, last but not least, our loyal readers. Without you, we'd just be another piece of infodust on the Web. Thank you for your continued readership and we really look forward to serving you even better in 1999!!
