Thanks, Chris, for the great press! Just wanted to say that the formal launch of the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative will take place on Thursday, May 19. Visitors to our Web site early next week will see a new site structure, look-and-feel, content pages, etc. However, we're giving ourselve until Thursday to make sure we have all the bugs addressed before really publicizing the new site.

I also wanted to let any ELI members out there know about the tremendous amount of support we received from our EDUCAUSE colleagues in Boulder. If I thanked everyone by name, I'd be typing this well into the weekend. Let's just say that almost every EDUCAUSE unit played a significant part in getting us through this transition. In particular, our Web Support, Marketing & Communications, and Publications staffs have been working overtime to make sure we have a successful launch. I'm sure we will, and I look forward to your feedback on the changes after the 19th.
