The site has remained fairly stable for the last year and has been increasingly hit from within the UK (50%) but also from Europe and America. The site has also won awards most recently from looksmart as editors choice (looksmart being a search engine run by Readers Digest..... Oh nooooo!) But times are a'changin' As some of you may know who are involved in the industry, university servers are bound by rules laid down by JANET (Joint Academic NETwork) which forbid the use of advertising/sponsorship in pages amongst other things. There is also limited functionality on the Cambridge server so pages are all maintained manually. So the site will be moving to a commercial server (on which the BUF has been given space for free). This will allow us to do whatever we so wish. So, the BUF needs people who have suggestions for the content of the website, anyone who can help in finding sponsors/advertisers for the site, and anyone who can help in building/structuring the site. If you are interested then please let me know by email. (Hopefully one of the first things I will do is to set up a web based discussion forum for this group) That's it for now.....
