Celeration.org 3.0!

Welcome to Celeration.org 3.0!  In setting up the registration for this years conference, we had to upgrade our security and the system on which the website operates.  Please take time to look around, including the expanding features of our community-based site.  As IPTC gears up, features will be revealing themselves on the website, some of which are already integrated.  We can now process new memberships or upgrades, because our banking has been resolved.

Among the already implemented features is our "Members List," available only to SCS Members once they have logged in.  Now you can "meet" your colleagues, learn a little about their interests, and send emails to them through the website (without revealing email addresses).  You can form "connections" with your colleagues, making your relationship known, be it chart parent or student, freind, co-worker, or former classmate.  From your profile, you can send an invite to join the SCS to a friend or co-worker, following which you will get recognized through The Society for their registration!

As the functionality of the site progresses, there will be more ways to earn kudos points (should we call them tokens?  Peaches?).  And the website can become more of a service to members and non-members if we add private messaging, a question and answer forum, a job-posting section, a section for folks to post their credentials, resumes, or curricula vitae, etc.

Aside from access to our journals, we can also create a section where members can upload abandoned articles (articles in the public domain), such as long-out-of-print resources.  SCS Members will then be able to download those, trade them, request them, etc.

We are looking forward to your input, thoughts, and suggestions.  And we'd like to see 2009 increase membership as we become increasingly organized and professional!

Welcome aboard.  Have fun exploring!
