We are thinking of an Archdaily type of website for Sarawakian architecture, so that the projects can be featured in a non chronological fashion (the old issues do not sink to the bottom)

ideas for an article about volunteering and how to be productive in the process.
The newsletter has been active since, the 1980's I think it was started by Hulbert, I have to confirm this. My involvement started in 2012(?) when I was enlisted to help Ivy who became the Editor for the newsletter, which was called INTERSECTION at the time. We produced 4 issues per term/year, the contents included project features (usually completed), news and updates about practice, announcements about upcoming events and reports on activities that took place in the past three months. I had a publishing company to help us earlier, later a designer who left this company became our long term partner as publisher, helping with formatting and graphic design.
When Ivy stepped down as Editor for INTERSECTION in ..., I took over as Editor with a slightly larger team; Chen Hui Joo as designer, Ar. Chai Si Yong for his contribution in practice matters, Leong Pik Shia for her skills in obtaining funding. * (were you guys involved during IVY's time?) From time to time, our long term collaborators; Tay Tze Yong, Lam Choi Suan provided articles and ideas to make up the 20 or so pages of INTERSECTION. Hui Joo is the one paid member of the team, the rest of us are volunteers.
In ..., I resigned as Editor to make way for a new team headed by Ar. Tina Lau, Hui Joo stayed on to continue the editing and formatting the 4-issues per year/team. For me the idea of departing is to make way for suitable candidates to take over and grow the work in new ways. It is never the intention to follow a tried and test format of working; it is a personal style which is most efficient and productive for the individual. And as volunteers, we have the option to step aside and not continue for a multitude of reasons; work/family commitments, dwindling interest, desire to try something different and so forth. Sometimes a reason is not even provided, there is simply a vacuum until something else takes its place.
In 2020 (?) during Ar. Ivy Jong's second term as Chairman of PAMSC, I was invited to re-take the helm as Editor which I was reluctant to do at first. Having left and made the way for new people to take over, it seemed like a downward slide for us to return to do more of the same.

Volunteers rewarded with acknowledgement and tea cakes
When the project gets too big, the volunteers are assisted by paid employees to carry out - design, formatting, editing, publicity, administration, marketing and sales.
