There have been about 160 messages since last September when we
started.  Most of the material is simple requests for special pieces of
information.  Also more and more job announcements have been posted.

Very few lively discussions have appeared, which I feel is a problem.

The email service is still taking shape and we are looking for ways to
promote discussion.  We are planning for "frequently asked questions",
a bi-monthly posting.  This could edited by people from various subject
areas.  Also planned is to have the WP-leaders and IUFRO headquarters
to summarize important events and meetings.  So far these have been
quite sporadic.

We'd be glad with more subscriptions and data flow from your country!

Regards,
