DAFNE Centre Forums ReleasedBy Simon on September 14, 2009 22:34 In the latest site update, we have created a forum for each DAFNE Centre. This is so our users can get in touch with DAFNE Graduates, Educators and others from their Centre. For more information see this forum post |
Over 1000 users online!By Simon on August 25, 2009 09:26
Well it's roughly 7 months since the site was launched fully, and I'm pleased to announce we now have over one thousand users registered on the site (1151 to be precise!). This is due in no small part to the efforts of DAFNE Central to spread the word to the DAFNE Educators at each centre and then the DAFNE Educators to spread the word to their Graduates. So I'd first like to say thank you first to Gill, Sharon and Clare at DAFNE Central for all of their hard work in supporting the site, we couldn't have done it without you! And secondly, thanks to the DAFNE Eductaors at each centre for publicizing the site to their Graduates - great job! |
