2006 – A year of many new projects
This
year 2006 will allow us to execute, I hope, many of the projects and
objectives we gave ourselves during our first General Meeting last
September.
Today,
we have made available:
-
Our
office in Alfortville every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month
since 4th January 2006.
-
The
“Cousins” project managed by Jean-Marie DUFOUR.
-
A
discussion group to allow you to exchange freely between
yourselves, managed by Agnès DOS SANTOS.
I also
wish to remind you of the other undergoing projects:
-
The
creation of a new Web interface which will allow us to search
certificates using multiple criteria, consolidate the existing indexes
in a database, order certificates via the Web, etc. To do this, a
computing student will carry out this project during the summer.
-
The
acceleration of the digitalization for the island of ISCHIA:
complete the parishes of FORIO and ISCHIA PONTE and start those of
TESTACCIO and CASAMICCIOLA.
Please
contact me if you have any question.
