I second that motion!

We had a PhyShare discussion about this exact thing back in the first
week of December. Warren Hein advised us, "The [AAPT's] current plan is
to have TPT and four years of back issues online beginning in 2003. Of
course, all back issues could be put online if we had the money. :>)"

The back issues of TPT are a treasure trove of information and ideas
that are essentially inaccessible to many of the new generation of
physics teachers. IMHO anything that can spur the dissemination of
these valuable resources is a good thing for the profession.

Best wishes,

Larry
