Dear Lowlanders,<br>
<br>
As the 14th year of Lowlands-l is approaching its mid-point it is time to send
out another rallying cry to keep our on-line presentations growing.<br>
<br>
The number of visits to our Anniversary project (<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/">http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/</a>)
keeps growing in leaps and bounds, many of them being repeat visits. Some visitors return <i>many</i> times and seem to be following the development. It is our oldest
presentation, is being linked to from several other sites, and word about it
seems to be spreading. Once in a while you can see that several people visited
a specific page (a translation and/or language introduction) around the same
time, which seems to indicate that someone made a group aware of it. People
seem to be enjoying it and seem to be learning from it.<br>
<br>
I just added another guest contributor feature to it: <a href="http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/feature_gerd.php">http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/feature_gerd.php</a><br>
<br>
There are now 243 translations. Surely, by the time of our next anniversary
(April-May 2009) we can go to 250 and beyond! Theoretically, <i>each</i> of you
could contribute at least one version of the story, since all of you and people you know
speak and write unique language varieties, and more than one written and/or narrated version per
variety (or what is perceived as one variety) is quite welcome.<br style="">
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Our other
presentations are not yet as well established and known, and they need a more
solid base each. You can tell that much depends on how long a presentation has
been around and how much material it offers. The Travel presentation
(<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/travels/">http://lowlands-l.net/travels/</a>) has been around longest among them and
receives more visits than do the others at this point in time.<br>
<br>
So, Lowlanders, please consider writing some stuff to add to them. Sound and
video files would be very much welcome as well.<br style="">
