Schola was founded on 28 January 2008. Today, January 4, 2012, we have just passed the 2,000 member mark.
Schola marks something new in the world - the first time since the renaissance where a functioning international community of people who use Latin to communicate, has been established, a place where Latin conversations take place every day, either in text, by video, or otherwise.
Much of the activity takes place away from Schola, on Skype, and elsewhere - Schola is simply the nexus, the directory.
I have taken a more backseat approach to Schola over the past year, to watch and give other personalities the chance to emerge. It was never a good thing for the site to be too closely identified with one person - now we have 2000 plus member, this is less of an issue.
Schola is paid for with donations from members, and also subsidised from sales of DVDs of Latin I produce - we pay Ning an annual rental for the site - around $200.
