Hi all: Here and there some posters have pointed the sad fact that nothing new appears in WCCR since long time ago and some of them even give ideas as how to give new life to the corpse. As a coordinator of this site -whatever thing that means- I can tell you that many efforts were done by steven and me to get things to be done, but people here simply did not attend our begging. People is prepared to read and sometimes to criticize, but not to write his own articles. Well, some did, but not enough to keep WCCR alive. A publication needs a constant flow of articles, not just one or two a month. Not only is not enough, but even produces a lose of interest and energy from us, the editors. You feel somewhat stupid doing things than nobody seems to care. If you take a look to all sections of WCCR you will see how many articles I wrote of any kind, not only reviews of programs, but the feedback was ever scarce. My effort was lost, so I felt. Maybe the mere idea of a publication like this has lost his sense these days. Maybe the articles were not good enough. Maybe people was scared to write and then be rejected. Well, we never rejected nothing on the ground of anything. Not Steven, not me. Less of all on the ground of style issues. Who am I to do so, when my english is sometimes -or many times- a joke? Nevertheless I am prepared to take again my share of the work there if at least half a dozen people engage to write at least one article a month. No matter the matter. Philosophy about chess computers, whatever. If they do, I will do. I myself did not write anymore due to the facts explained above. But the esential part of this are you, posters, AND Steven, the man that really must do the editing work. Fernando
