Discussion

Is there another page that people are using for the 2008-2009 search?

-There must be. There are no updates here at all. Does anybody know? (11/13) -I don't think so -- I'm applying to a number of world positions, but haven't heard a peep. Let's update as we begin to hear responses? I understand information will start to roll in in the next couple of weeks. -(12/2) I don't think there is another page this year. The wikihost.org academic job sites seem to be closed down this year.
 * so far, it's a strange year, info has been hard to get -haven't received rejections nor invites -why is it so hard to send out an email to all applicants saying we're still considering your file and give a date when to expect info on whether one is in the top 10/15 or top 20? don't these people have any common sense?
