[lg policy] TeachLing email list

[Dave Sayers]

Hello one and all,

 From time to time, it occurs to me that I really have too much time on my hands. In 
moments like those, I'm prone to taking on exciting new projects, which may or may 
not contribute to what I'm actually supposed to be doing. And so with that 
exhilarating drumroll, I hereby introduce... TEACHLING, a new mailing list for anyone 
wanting to discuss teaching linguistics.

Well, I say it's new, but actually it's a replacement for a Google Group of the same 
name created and skilfully tended by Christine Mallinson, until she offered to hand 
the reigns over to me. I've decided to move the list over to Jiscmail as a more 
manageable and academically focused platform, and to escape the corporate 
overlordship of Google (there will only be one overlord around here, mwahahaa!).

Now, to gather email addresses for the initial wave of new members I'm trying to 
funnel people into a secure Google doc (yes I get the irony of using a Google 
doc...), so that I can easily collect and add them to the list en masse. I know 
there's a self-registration system in Jiscmail, but with that I have to individually 
approve each new member request. Call me lazy...

So, if teaching linguistics currently occupies some or all of your time, please head 
along here and add your email address: http://goo.gl/PvYu97.

Lastly, allow me to introduce my co-moderator / co-overlord (coverlord?), Dr. 
Charlotte Selleck at the University of Worcester: c.selleck at worc.ac.uk. Please 
distribute any praise and/or blame equally between us.

Please feel free to distribute this message far and wide.

See you on TeachLing :)

Dave
