The information age has brought about
the need to produce news at an ever
higher rate. Visitors to a Web site are
likely to revisit only if that site is kept
current and flashes something new
every time. Owing to this "consumer"
attitude and with the Newsletter being
published now both electronically and in
print, the editorial team has decided to
publish the Newsletter more frequently.
This, needless to say, will largely
depend on the frequency, quantity and
quality of inputs received from
contributors. However, future issues,
starting with this one, shall be shorter
and more focused.
The editorial team thanks the
contributors to this Newsletter, Mr.
Roger Uddstål and Mr. Fernando
Sanchez.
To contribute to the Newsletter, please

your geographic region or write to
