A collaborative project for members of NSCSS

What the heck is a wiki?

A wiki is an easy-to-use Web site that makes it profoundly easy to collaborate on projects. This wiki has been made public to allow anyone to read it, while still restricting editing to those who know the wiki's password. Edits are done in plain text and don't require learning fancy or complex codes like HTML. Just click Edit page and start typing! It's also easy to create new pages and make links to pages you've already made.

Where do I start?

Passwords, available to NSCSS members, will be emailed on a regular interval. Regular users are encouraged to create a permanent “PBwiki Identity” by visiting http://my.pbwiki.com. These users won't be affected by periodic password changes.

What is next?

A great place to contribute content is about yourself at MemberBiographies.

Kari Sever and Pierre Bordenave (as NSCSS President, and as Chair) have signed a new MOU with SSSA. Signing for SSSA was Rattan Lal and Ellen Bergfeld (as SSSA President, and as CEO). The PDF has been uploaded and the text is provided below. Needless to say, we're all pretty happy about having an MOU back in place.

Memorandum of Understanding

Between

Soil Science Society of America

and

National Society of Consulting Soil Scientists (NSCSS)

In recognition of the common missions of the Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) and the National Society of Consulting Soil Scientists (NSCSS), it is hereby mutually understood that a specific cooperative relationship between these two societies is established and implemented for a 3-year period, commencing on April 15, 2007.

Primary areas of cooperation include the following:

1. Establish mutual links to each other's web page to encourage member awareness of the mutual objectives and activities of the organizations. SSSA will establish the link under its "cooperating societies" page.

2. Provide each other's Executive Committee with on-line access to the respective newsletters.

3. On a space available basis in each other's newsletter, publish announcements and news articles on topics of interest to each Society, based on the discretion of the Editorial Board of the Society publishing the announcement or article.

4. Provide a registration waiver to each other's annual meeting which will be used either by an official of the Society or by an individual designated by the Society.

5. Provide each other complimentary space for a display at each other's annual meeting. Location and size of the display shall be based on the discretion of the Society holding the meeting.

6. Other mutually agreed activities of benefit to the profession.

Implementation of these cooperative activities will proceed equitably in accordance with the policies and procedures of the cooperating organizations. Upon review and mutual agreement, this Memorandum of Understanding may be revised and continued for additional periods of time.

This Memorandum of Understanding is implemented with the signatures of Society officers on behalf of their respective organizations.
