The Cybertronian

Awards, Graphics and Meta Issue
[14th - 20th of January]

Editor's Note

Welcome to the meta edition all - this week there's an added section for help_haiti, and although it's now closed to new bids (I thought I might just be able to sneak in before their deadline but it was not to be) I'm keeping the thread links there for interest's sake, and also because the community is bound to be organising further rounds at some point.

Let me know if I've missed anything and enjoy the issue!
