Our readers
The sort of people who might well be interested, but just don't know about your work.
Whilst we do have members who are e.g. members of TSF, EFDSS, etc, and know all about what you do ...
... many readers are not in any sort of organisation, and most also will not have academic library access.
This does not mean they are not interested !!
Accordingly, contributions do not have to be original - they could be cut and pasted from your existing web article(s).
If you look at the FTJ Archive, an index of all FT issues, that gives you a flavour of what we do.
