"La Blog" has been launched: a community space we can test out over the conference weekend, and in the days/weeks following to report on presenations, encounters, discoveries, queries and reflections on the JALT 2008. I hope that "LaBlog" will become a truly useful community space. It is multilingually intelligent (currently configured only to accept posts in English and Japanese, but extendable should the demand and interest be there. If you've a hankering to share your experiences with others, drop Hugh Nicoll an email (hnicoll AT gmail dot com), and I'll be happy to set up your membership.
