[Maths-Education] International Directory of Mathematics Educators

[Alan Rogerson]

Dear Peter and all members of your List,

Just a short progress report after two days of looking after the Directory.

The webpage is up and running well it seems. Quite a few people have 
already sent entries, many thanks, and most of these have already been 
successfully uploaded to both the country and main files, but it would 
be helpful to double check your new (or old!) entry and let me know if 
there are any errors and omissions.

In general we hope to upload entries within a day of receipt, except for 
occasional delays caused by conferences, travel, holidays etc.

I realised that I should have requested everyone to kindly send me their 
entries in exactly the standard format that we use in the Directory. 
This is not because of any laziness or pedantry on our part, but there 
is always a danger with cutting and pasting and formatting that an error 
may creep into your entry. In addition the entry is and should be 
"owned" by you.

The standard format in the Directory is all in one line:  [ surname or 
family name, given name(s), email address, postal address(es), telephone 
number(s) (and URL(s) if you wish) ]

Please follow this example precisely in its formatting:

Gates, Peter, _peter.gates at nottingham.ac.uk_, Centre for the Study of 
Mathematics Education; School of Education; University of Nottingham; 
Jubilee Campus; Nottingham NG8 1BB; UK; (+44) (0) 115 951 4432; Fax: 
(+44) (0) 115 846 6600; 
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/education/staff/pgates/htm

Please also make it clear if you are updating an exisiting entry or 
sending a new one, and let us know if you have information if someone 
else is no longer in University X or in Country X, this information can 
be added as a note to the relevant entry and hopefully the person 
concerned will update their entry.

Looking forward to getting more entries, and thanks to all of you for 
your patience and cooperation.

Best wishes,
Alan

> International Directory of Mathematics Educators 
> As many of you know I created and maintained for many years a very
> useful International Directory of Mathematics Educators to help
> mathematics educators keep in touch and know who was working in various
> countries throughout the world. The Directory consists of one Main File,
> containing all individual names in alphabetical order, and also files
> listing  individuals country by country.  You will also know I was
> looking for someone to take this over and develop it.
>
> Alan Rogerson has helpfully taken this on and The Directory has now
> moved to a new home http://www.DirectoryMathsEd.net/  where it will be
> maintained and updated in future by Alan.
>
> If you would like to be included in The Directory please send your name,
> address, phone number(s) and email address to Alan at
> alan at rogerson.pol.pl.  If you are already on the list would you be kind
> enough now to verify that all your details are currently correct and
> your email addresses and URLs actually work, and if not could you send
> Alan the updated versions? Quite a few of the entries are quite old now
> and some of you might well have had several promotions since your entry
> was added!
>
> We hope mathematics educators worldwide will continue to access and use
> the Directory and will find it useful.
>
> My thanks to Alan for this - and good luck. Not only will the directory
> continue, but with Alan's extensive networks it looks like it will
> enlarge - which will make it much more useful to everyone.
