NEWS - Big Changes for CPDL August 24: After several weeks of computer problems, I have decided to move CPDL to a new platform. It is now running on as a 'wiki' website. If you Google 'wiki' you will get ~61 million references. The are many exciting possiblities and difficulties with this move. Please be patient as the kinks get worked. Also, let me know what you think (when it is fully up). Calling all volunteers! There are many opportunities for helping out. We need editors, website monitors, managers and translators, to name just a few possible opprtunities. Please checkout the Volunteer page for a list of ideas. Email me (ornes@cpdl.org) if you have any questions. A discussion forum has been added. Check out the link on the left hand menu. A synopsis of changes to the website is now available on the Current events page.
