What's changed recently?

• Nothing to see here anymore The webmaster has stopped updating this page. It has been quite some time since new non-member content has been added to the site, and most of the dynamic stuff is behind the members-only wall.
• 12 May 2011: Published final issue of Lost... and Found, 16-5, our 177th monthly issue. Our newsletter was begun in September of 1996 and filled a communications gap with our members, but after more than 14 years we decided it was no longer serving that purpose and that publishing it monthly was a waste of time and energy. We thank those of you who used to read it for your support.
• 11 September 2008: Published September 2008 issue of Lost ... and Found, our 145th monthly issue.
• 4 June 2007:Added a Google Custom Search box to our site. This box uses Google's search engine to search our site, and as such is only as good as Google's indexing of our site. As of today, Google has not quite got all of our new site indexed, but I'm working on that. Might be a week or two before everything is just right.
• 30 May 2007: Migration of the old web site to the new is basically complete (modulo two officer-only database applications), and the old site now just redirects here. All the content is still here, but I have not set up file-by-file redirection: if you visit any page on the old site it simply redirects you to the home page on the new site. This will no doubt cause some folks who find our site through google a moment's headache, but it should not be especially difficult to find the original content on the new site --- the site doesn't have that many layers of links to wade through.
• 20 May 2007: Began migration of site to http://www.cibolasar.org/. There have been other things since 20 Dec 2005, but for some reason I didn't keep this page up to date. There have been newsletters every month, a fair number of new minilessons, and a whole new look: we've got a new banner image, and our page no longer has a bright white background with bright colors to attack your eyes. The site is not yet fully migrated, though.
• 20 Dec 2005: Updated contact information to reflect the new board.
• 13 December 2005: Installed cascading style sheets to make the green navigation bar hover at the top left corner of the page even when scrolling any of our pages. This behavior only works on W3C standard compliant browsers. For other browsers (those that don't implement style sheets, or those that have broken box models like Internet Explorer), the old behavior of having the navigation links at the bottom remains. Contact the webmaster if you notice any browser-specific usability problems, as it remains our intention that this web site not require users to change their browser to use our site effectively.
• 29 Jun 2005: Updated contact information to reflect the new board after June's special election.
• 23 Feb 2005 Removed some dead links from the Other Interesting Web Sites page, mostly in the "backscratching" section.
• 9 Feb 2005: Add a link to Welcome to Geodesy to our Other Interesting Web Sites page.

The original web page with the checklist and instructions to evaluators has been split into separate documents for ease of access and printing.
