Dear readers,

We often get emails starting with “Dear LINGUIST List” and I always
want to respond: no, wrong, the team in Bloomington is not the List.
You, dear readers, subscribers, and submitters, you are the LINGUIST
List. The mailing list, the website, social media accounts have no
reason to exist without you, the individuals and the community.  You
are the source of the content we distribute; you are the donors and
you are the recipients. And you inspire us to continue. So let me
start again:

Dear Linguist List,

Much has happened since last year on the website. We moved most of the
processes to new servers. We are nearly finished re-doing our internal
editorial system, which will simplify the work of editors and
hopefully, speed up the processing time for submissions. We are about
to roll out a new improved submission form which will allow you to see
the preview before the submission. And, for all conference organizers
around the globe, we have launched a new version of EasyAbs, our
abstract management system, which is now internally simpler and more
robust and ready to be enriched with new features (under development).
We have had a lot of personnel changes over the last year. Billy
Dickson, Sarah Goldfinch, Amalia Robinson and Nils Hjortnaes left the
team, leaving good memories and a hole in our hearts… in summer 2022,
Daniel Swanson joined us as system administrator and head developer,
and Maria Lucero Guillen Puon (Lucero) became the new publication
editor; the team was additionally strengthened in January, adding Zack
Leech as journal call and summer school editor to the mix. Finally, we
have welcomed a co-moderator, Fran Tyers, who agreed to substitute for
me in my role as moderator during my sabbatical last year and, luckily
for us, liked it enough to get persuaded to stay. Thank you for your
patience and support through all these transitions.

So yes, a lot has changed but now the time is to look ahead to the
future, and since we are linguists, we will, in particular, be looking
into the future tense! I declare the 2023 fund drive open, with future
tense as our theme this year. For this fund drive I can promise you
some contributions in future tense, some contributions about future
tense, a lot of books to win, and a lot of dramatic pleas for
donations. To keep the dramatic pleas in limits and to keep the fund
drive as short as possible, please, support the LINGUIST List!

Donate at https://funddrive.linguistlist.org/

Your donations will allow us to finish off the developments in
progress and develop some more sophisticated features for EasyAbs. We
are also planning also some completely new features to help all those
who teach linguistics. More soon!

Your donations will allow us to continue our operations in future,
providing you with information that brings you forward in your study
of linguistics. You are the LINGUIST List and it is up to you what the
future tense will bring for the LINGUIST List.

Best wishes,
Malgosia Cavar
Co-moderator of the LINGUIST List
