Happy New Year 2024 to all of you! And thank you for your support during the International Year of Millets 2023. (I understand that the official closing ceremony for the Year is still ahead of us,so we'll have more to say around that time). NAMA is already working on plans for 2024 and beyond. Stay tuned! Here are some technical notes of interest to subscribers: * The Collab list will continue on this domain, millets2023.space. It is not possible to port the archives to our destination URL, milletsalliance.org, and so maintain full continuity. Therefore, we'll keep Collab here for now. We'll continue this list in some form for as long as it continues to fill a communication function (in tandem with other media) for the millets interest & action community. * Collab may be the only forum for communication about all millets across all domains of activity, and with a North American focus (plus international awareness, of course). It currently has about 80 subscribers. * Since there have been a number of substantive posts about millets on Collab since its start in January 2022, I have been spending some time to make sure that messages are properly archived with Archive.org. In addition, I am trying to see if the list traffic can be stored on Mail-archive.com from this point in time on. All of this, again, to make the content of this list more accessible now and later. * NAMA also continues to use social media for communication - notably LinkedIn, where we have a page (and 700+ followers) at https://www.linkedin.com/company/north-american-millets-alliance-nama/ * We're also returning to the need for a proper NAMA website. To that end, if you have strong skills with WordPress (including Elementor), and would have time to lend a hand (no major commitment), please contact me offlist. Thank you, and we look forward to the coming year! Don Don Osborn, PhD (East Lansing, MI, US) North American Millets Alliance, co-founder don@milletsalliance.org
