places to look for ASpace information and synthesize on our own. Most important to include would be information about future releases – what we can expect in each release – so that we can make local plans accordingly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello ArchivesSpace Members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for the recent posts to the list and comments in other forums about ArchivesSpace communication. We really want to keep you informed and I hope you’ve noticed that we’ve made a number of efforts in the last year improve our communication.
But, as of this writing, there are 242 member institutions and 4.6 (I’m part-time) of us on the Program Team, so we need your help to make sure the word gets out. The main ways to keep track of what’s going on with ArchivesSpace are:<o:p></o:p></p>

the same baseline of information.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This may seem like a lot of different channels, but they reflect the different types of activity within the ArchivesSpace program and the different audiences that have an interest in what’s going on. If you have other ideas about ways we
can best communicate with you and your colleagues, and ways all of us in the community as a whole can best communicate with each other, we’d love to hear from you. Please drop me a line or get a discussion going here on the list.<o:p></o:p></p>
