(10) In case you missed the deadline for the membership discount...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you missed the discount deadline on ProZ.com membership this year, there are still a few hours left during which you can get Plus membership at only 160 USD, or Standard membership for only 105 USD.

(11) New ways to receive and display client feedback
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A preview of a new service provider feedback card has been released. During this pre-release period, you can view only your own feedback card (you will not be able to view the feedback card of others). You can access your feedback card from your ProZ.com profile, via the WWA box in the top right corner of your profile, by clicking on the "View feedback card" link.
The purpose of this pre-release is twofold:
1) To give service providers ample time to review the new WWA ratings they have received since the feature was announced (and subsequently to make any decisions regarding showing/hiding/contesting ratings)
2) Receive comments on the feedback card format. Please feel free to leave your ideas/suggestions/critiques in the announcement thread:

Do you work in game localization, or have colleagues who do? A new ProZ.com Pool™ has been released for experts in this field
Pools are made up of pre-screened specialists in different areas and services. If you specialize in a field or a particular service, adding yourself to a pool makes it easier for potential clients to find you-- both on and off the ProZ.com site. If you are looking for a specialist, pools are a good place to start. Pools for interpreters, subtitlers and pharmaceutical translators have already been created, and more are on the way.
If you work in game localization, consider applying to the new pool:

’Twas the night before deadline & all hands were on deck,
PMs compiled & QA-ed, but the job was a wreck;
Translations lacked consistency, terms were not there,
If only we used remote assets, with much better care;
Worry no more, put Wordfast Server in place,
Save time & money when the right technology you embrace!

’Twas the night before deadline, when all thro’ the house
Only I was stirring – translation, computer & mouse;
Stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that my Wordfast license soon would be there;
Others were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of 100% matches danced in my head!
