[KineJapan] The new Kinema Club website

[Maureen Donovan]

Dear Kinejapan community,

It seems like only yesterday that we started Kinema Club and the Kinejapan
mailing list!

Aaron, Markus and others were graduate students then.  Setting up these
services required a permanent home, so I arranged for Ohio State to play
that role.  Now that I am looking forward to retiring before changes in the
state teachers pension system take effect in June 2015, I am delighted that
Yale is now able to provide new (and improved!) support.  I will continue
to be interested and will remain involved as a member.

Best wishes to all!
