99nicu - the third year

99nicu has recently celebrated its second anniversary (...the lounge for further details...) and we are now entering the third year of our community. I would like to start a discussion for feedback and comments from you. What can we change to make things better?

Personally I think there are several important tasks to accomplish:

* continue to encourage discussions in the forums (that's what we are here for)

* make people post job offers on our Message Board (it's easy and free)

* offer really good member benefits, such as full-text access to journals

* improve ways for members to interact with each other

One issue to tackle is also our financial situation, to promote current ways to support 99nicu (supporting memberships and our bookshops), and to find sponsorships. Funding is necessary for our plans to offer full-text access to journals, and also to cover our increasing costs for external technical support.

With regard to new features at the web site, we will soon update the software. The new version contains several nice community features, which makes it possible for you to start your own user groups, among many other things…

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has encouraged me and the 99nicu Team during the past two years.

My very best regards to all of you!
