Violet, I can supply citations and very brief descriptions of research published
since 2004 if someone would like to do the actual review. Best regards, Jacqui

One purpose of the list is to help folks stay in contact with each
other/find each other. Is this reason enough to maintain it?-- Probably not,
as the contact is so sparse. So, in case the list disappears soon, as
Nursing Science Quarterly research column editor I would like to know what
(if any) Rogerian research folks are engaging in now, especially those newer
to Rogerian nursing science. I need someone to do an update on Rogerian
research to date for a 6/15/08 deadline-any takers? Also, we need someone to
do a theoretical column on time from a unitary perspective, due
3/15/08-anyone exploring this, interested? How is the Rogerian world these
days?

Thanks,

Violet

Subject: [Martha_E_Rogers] The future of the listserver

Hi all

I have been looking over the activity level for the listserver and
wondering whether it is still performing any useful function.

Most of the posts to it are from spammers trying to market some sort
of goods or services and it has been a very long time since there have
been any extended dialogues. My hunch is that as people have become
more email savvy and their interests have broadened, the benefits of
the listserver in facilitating communication are being replaced by off
list communications or that people are congregating on other listservers.

It would seem to be an appropriate forum for communications from the
officers or board but I can't really remember when last there was such
communication.

So, the question: Is it worthwhile to maintain the listserver when
there is so little use being made of it? Most of my work on the
listserver at this point is dedicated to identifying and deleting
spammers - which is not quite the way I want to spend my time and very
little time is spent reading interesting posts from colleagues.

So, I suggest that we engage in a dialogue about the utility of
maintaining the listserver and if that dialogue fails to generate
appropriate interest and responses, we agree to let the listserver go
on in a relatively unmoderated manner - unfortunately that would
likely eventually result in a lot of spam. The upside would be that
the older messages would remain intact - as opposed to formally
shutting down the listserver which would mean that the 1200 messages
would be lost.

Another option would be that someone else step up to be moderator.
