Just a quick update from myself... Obviously, a big thanks to Carin, Paul's widow, and to Meike, his daughter, for helping us unpick the situation with Paul's hosting etc. and for their commitment to maintaining Paul's legacy. Nikita has made a very generous offer of funding and we are just working out the best way to move these funds to the hosts. Next we really need to build a much broader team of diptera.info members who can help act as Admins but also people who can help with securing funding / support for diptera.info going forward. I don't have any strong feelings on how we should achieve this yet so I'm open to suggestions. My time is going to be fairly short this summer as my father has broken his back and needs a lot of support from me - and lives 2.5 hours away, so I have to do a lot of travelling in and around a full-time job and looking after family here. If we could get a few more minds to help with this and do some of the organisation and administration then that would take pressure off the 3 of us and help us move forward without depending on a few people. Anyway, I think we should open up discussion and see what the active members think. Chris R.
