> 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

> 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

> > As many of you know I created and maintained for many years a
> very
> > useful International Directory of Mathematics Educators to help

> 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

> > 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

> entry

> >
> > 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
