Hey folks,

Rapa Nui News is on an indefinite hiatus. I'm just slammed with all sorts of other stuff right now (and unfortunately the paying stuff has to come before the non-paying). Anyway, since my last update in October, I have posted lots more. So please have a look.

If anyone has any questions or comments about Rapa Nui News ... OR ... if anyone's interested in helping keep RNN current with your time or sponsorship, please get in touch.

Maururu!
