[altroots] web & listserv management (Modified by Allen Welty-Green)

Dear ROOTS members,

This was sent to the listserv last Tuesday, but apparently I was 
unsubscribed from the list when I changed my admin status, and this 
message never got through to you:

Dear ROOTS members,

As of today, I no longer manage ROOTS' listservs and website. Any 
questions, concerns or problems you have should be directed to Carlton.

This was not my choice.

I have thoroughly enjoyed using my skills and talents on ROOTS' behalf 
for many years now, in various paid and unpaid capacities. During my 
tenure as journal designer, I participated in the transformation of the 
journal from a sparse internal document to a high-quality publication, 
both from a design and editorial perspective. I created the altroots 
and rootsexcomm listservs, both of have served this organization well 
for many years. I transformed our website from a static brochure-type 
site to a fully interactive, regularly updated site packed with 
resources and information. I developed our online Annual Meeting 
registration capabilities.  I added streaming content to our tour page. 
I set up a blog for people to post thoughts and observations about the 
Katrina disaster.

I could go on and on with the work I have done for ROOTS, much of it on 
my own initiative, based on my understanding of the organization, its 
mission and its needs. I have taken it to be my personal mission to be 
an interface between ROOTS and the technological world. I believe 
whole-heartedly in ROOTS' mission and the good work it does, and I hope 
at some point, the organization will evolve to the point where it feels 
my services and dedication are once again of value.

Thank you all.

Allen Welty-Green

PS - if anyone feels the need to communicate with me about this, feel 
free, but please do it privately and not on the listserv.
