There is something typical about this time of the year…The New Year brings with itself, new hopes and aspirations for all aspects of our lives. We all tend to make resolutions and normally the first resolution is to stick to the rest of them !! Some of us succeed in meeting all our resolutions, some don’t…but still that does not deter us from keeping our hopes alive and facing the year with optimism. On a more serious note, we have attempted to cover a vital issue as our lead story this time, that of Universal Accessibility of the WWW, especially with regards to those who are differently-abled. We hope the story would help create awareness about this significant aspect and would lead to more and more ‘barrier-free’ websites in the times to come.
With this issue, the Advisory and Editorial Committees of Informatics have undergone a revision with the introduction of New Committee Members and Regional Editors. Informatics wishes to express heartfelt gratitude to the out-going committee members for their exemplary guidance and support during the past five years. With the direction shown by our esteemed members, the bulletin has grown immensely and it is hoped that Informatics shall continue to receive their kind encouragement in future.
We also welcome the new Committee members in the Informatics family and hope that they shall usher in new ideas and fresh perspectives which shall help the bulletin grow further from strength to strength.
Wishing you all a great year ahead. Sonal Kalra
