Last week, I announced, optimistically, that I would try to have completed indexing for WCJ and WLN by this week. As is too often the case, I was over-optimistic.

The CompReviews section of CompPile now includes 10 new reviews. You'll note that several of them are reviews for single essays in edited collections, which is a positive development, I think.

In preparation for the WPA conference next week, I just finished indexing and uploading 132 entries for WPA: Writing Program Administration. That represents all issues from 2000-2007. Entries deserve more attention to search terms, and for one issue, I don't have ending page numbers.
