Changes In Support Services

Support Services are pleased to announce a number of changes.

Jessica McClary has been appointed Editor-in-Chief of the Know the Edge newsletter, replacing Alia Gorden. Alia's work on the newsletter was instrumental in getting the concept off the ground, but real life obligations have obliged her to step aside. Our thanks to Alia for her time and effort. Jess appoints Jeannette Giesbrecht as co-editor, replacing Samantha Nelson. Their plans for the newsletter are exciting, and it looks set to really become an integral part of the wider AJJE community!

Euan Reid replaces Chris Wilkinson as Bebo group moderator. Chris' initiatives building the Bebo group were truly inspired, and Euan is the man to take the group to yet greater heights. We are waiting on Bebo for Euan to gain administrative access.

Additionally, MySpace moderator Mischa Brendell and Facebook moderator Nicholas Palmer will be pioneering some new approaches to administrating their social networking groups, so users with Facebook and MySpace accounts should look out for developments there. For instance, there will soon be a MySpace group for each AJJE club, which new club-specific moderators will invite members to join. Similarly, there will soon be club-specific moderators serving the Facebook group and providing regular updates on events and activities related to that club and genre. Already, Euan Reed has been appointed RTE Liaison moderator for Facebook and Jess McClary has been appointed SGU Liaison moderator for MySpace. Mischa and Nick will be serving as Chief Moderators and as Liaison moderators for LOTW.

Volunteers for the remaining positions should email me at aescleal@googlemail.com and your application will be forwarded to the relevant Chief moderator. (We still need SFHQ Liaison moderators for both Facebook and MySpace, an RTE Liaison moderator for MySpace, and an SGU Liaison moderator for Facebook).

Finally, a word of personal thanks to the team past and present for all your hard work.
