1. END OF TERM REPORT

Over the first term of webring operation the webring has grown from possessing just one site (the webring home page, unsurprisingly) to having 18 members of the ring with another two in the ring. This is admittedly 10% short of our target number of sites for this term however the target was very optimistic and I was surprised to have reached this figure. A graph showing webring expansion is below:


The growth rate for the second month of webring operation as been a very healthy 29% and I look forward to the autumn term to see if we can match that growth rate.

Webring functions will continue over the holiday period although there may be a slower reaction from me than is normal in some cases. Sites can continue to be added over the holiday period.


2. ANNOUNCEMENTS

RING RE-ARRANGEMENTS
The ring re-arrangement schedule has been changed. The webring will now be re-arranged randomly once a week on Sundays.

WEBRING BULLETINS
Over the holiday period the webring bulletins will be bi-weekly to take into account the fact of lower webring traffic. Bulletins will resume being distributed weekly at the beginning of next term.
