<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Dear Board Members,</p><div><div></div><div class="h5">
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you all for your good wishes on the e-publication of <em>Basic
Writing</em> by George Otte and me. It's exciting to see the work of many years
available at last. We are so pleased that the book is available free to anyone
who wants to read part or all of it.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Meanwhile, I'm writing to ask you to consider another
longstanding project related to basic writing. For several years, we've
been trying to make all the past issues of the <em>Journal of Basic
Writing</em> available online, open access, but we need a small amount of
money to hire a tech person to get this to actually happen. At the moment,
here's where we stand: Mike Palmquist of the WAC Clearinghouse has
enthusiastically agreed to host the archive on their site. A librarian at our
college has carefully scanned most of these issue into searchable PDFs. But we
need to hire a tech person here in NYC to work with the Clearinghouse to get
this archive up and running. I think our wonderful editorial assistant Corey
Frost would be able to do this in the spring or summer for about $1,000. I
don't know what the financial situation of CBW is at the moment, but even a
partial contribution to this end (which would of course be acknowledged on the
website) would be a great help. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I recall correctly, Greg is the treasurer, and I'm not
sure that Greg will be able to attend the meeting. But Greg, if you could find
a way to let us know the status of the treasury, that would be helpful.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">A historical footnote: now that we have changed printers, there
are no more stored copies of previous issues, so if we don't manage to host
these issues online, some of them will really be lost; there will be no way for
composition scholars to access them in the future.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know how busy you are all, getting ready to leave for
Louisville. But Shannon thought it would be good to touch base with you
before the exec board meeting. Any comments or suggestions would be welcome,
and then perhaps we won't have to spend as much time discussing this at the
meeting.</p>
