CEDA Topicblog is moving Thanks in large part to the success of this site it is now necessary for us to move to a site that allows additional features, including a means of indexing the threads and a corresponding website to store all of the relevant materials. Anyone who saw the difficulties the site faced on the last day of the CEDA summer meetings can appreciate the need for change.

The new site will allow a link back to this site and all reports and links have likewise been produced on that new site. The link for the newest is www.cedatopic.com and the direct link for the new blog is blog.cedatopic.com

Thanks to everyone whose participation made this process a success.
