Thanks for sharing this news with us - and congratulations to all of you on evolving into your own institute!

I've just been to your new website, and it looks neat, well organised and a pleasure to the discerning eye. All credit goes to Elaine Corets and others who worked on it. We will take a few ideas from this one as we are about to revamp our own website.

We are privileged to be partners with MAP in our shared vision and endeavours in the Asia Pacific.

I wanted to say how wonderful the MAP website is! As a student from Michigan State University I have used it numerous times to aid in discussions of mangal systems. It is a great resource and I'm sure numerous others appreciate all of the work that has went into making it that way.
