A new year will bring us some new functionality. The old Welcome to Schola article has been moved to the About OPS section, selectable from the menu on your upper right.

The Events calendar is out of testing and can be found on the main menu right over the Course registration link. While community events are viewable by anyone, some events are hidden until you log in (faculty events are only visible to logged-in Faculty, for instance).

The Scholian, subscribable from our main menu to your left, is our new Quarterly newsletter and replaces my old Grads Newsletter. Unlike the Grads newsletter, The Scholian is open to anyone who wishes to sign up for it — you don't even need to be a member of the Forums. Simply tick the newsletter you wish to receive (only the one, so far), give us your handle and the address you wish to receive it at, and let us know whether your email client can display HTML or not. Those who cannot, or prefer not, to receive HTML will get a plain text version.
The first edition will go out in early March; if you sign up after it's gone out, it will be in the archive along with all previous editions. Simply click on Scholian in the subscription box. And once again, you don't have to be a subscriber to see The Scholian's archive — it's free, as in beer. If you change your mind about subscribing, there's an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every issue. Enjoy!
