The LFG Executive Committee wants to express its thanks to Doug Arnold for 
creating an attractive new LFG website:

http://www.essex.ac.uk/linguistics/LFG/

This web site improves on the old sites in many ways.   We're very grateful to 
Doug for his work on this!

The old Stanford and Essex websites are now being redirected to this site.  If 
you have any references to the old sites on your web pages, it would be a good 
idea to change them to the new address.  

More improvements are in the works -- keep an eye on the new web pages as they 
evolve!  We'd also like to reinforce the requests for volunteers that appeared 
in the last LFG bulletin, repeated below.  Please let me know if you would be 
willing to volunteer for one of these tasks.

(1) The Executive Committee would like to ask for two volunteers to serve
as the LFG Web Officer and/or the FAQ Maintainer. The main task for
the FAQ maintainer would be to update the FAQ appropriately, seeking
advice from the LFG community where appropriate.

The task of the web officer, who would take over from Doug, would
include being responsible to the Executive Committee for the following:
        - general responsibility for the web presence of the LFG community
        - maintaining the main page
          (and subpages that no-one else takes responsibility for;
          see (c) below)
      - designing style files for consistent look and feel across pages
         (see (d) below)
        - offering help and advice to other page maintainers and the
           committee on web matters     
        - being ultimate arbiter of matters of readability, style,
           etc. in Web pages

It is not anticipated that this will involve much work, especially  
once the initial transition period is over, since Doug has just  
redone the portal page. 

(2) Volunteers are needed to update and maintain the OT-LFG and LFG    
Morphosyntax web pages!  These subpages of the Stanford LFG page have gotten 
badly out of date.  The ILFGA Executive Committee is looking for volunteers to 
update these pages and maintain them.  We would be particularly happy for 
people to volunteer who are able to provide web space for one or the other of 
these pages at their own institutions.  If these web pages reflect your 
interests, please help out the LFG community by taking charge of the update 
and maintenance of these pages.
