one million mark

[Donna Jackson]

I vote in favor of Jean´s proposal. There should be a special award. We 
should bring it up with the IASCL board. How do we start this? Does 
anyone know?

In this age of trillion dollar deficits and terabyte drives, a million may seem a small number.  However, for a small academic discipline, it is not bad at all.  Also, I have noticed that the number of hits to the web page seems to be an accelerating function, which is another nice signal.
