 When I learned that Abbey Zenith was sponsoring a contest on the theme of Hope this month, it gave me an idea for this editorial. Although I already knew I would be writing my final one for this particular format of RezLibris, I wasn't sure what I wanted to convey. There are so many feelings. I recall the previous publisher, Clark Abismo's parting words six months ago and how he looked at our accomplishments and what was learned from this project before he turned it over to me. Since then, we've made more strides and yet there were always the factors that held us back from our beginning a year ago -- limited time, lack of funding, shortage of staff. It was fun, but it was hard work. There were many sacrifices along with the rewards. As with all SL endeavors, there were many real life conflicts. I only wish our efforts could've seen more fulfillment and acknolwledgment for all of us. And now, looking back, I can't help but look forward. Making the decision to resign from the publisher position was very difficult for me. I knew the consequences might lead to the end of the publication, as I knew of no one else on our staff who was interested in taking over that position. And yet I hold out hope that RezLibris will continue in some form even if it turns into something entirely different. The idea, the seed that Clark planted when he first brought together that first group of people to organize the project and that the founding members so painstakingly nurtured into what grew into the online magazine you are now reading, is and will always be RezLibris, the first magazine about librarians in Second Life. So I will end this as Clark ended his editorial in May with a farewell and not a goodbye. While I am stepping down as publisher, I am still interested in contributing in other ways to whatever supersedes this publication. As my colleagues assure me, it has been a great run. Thanks to to all the editors, writers, photographers, and other contributors. Each one of you have done a wonderful job, and it is my hope that some of you will join me in what is not the end but possibly a new beginning for RezLibris.
