Abstract	Greetings from the Editorial Suite! Big things are going on here at your Data Base. We've completely settled in to our new online manuscript review portal, which you can find linked at our site (http://the-database.org) or directly accessed through http://www.editorialmanager.com/sigmisdb/. Try it; you'll like it. It seems that more and more of the leading journals are going online with their reviewing processes. It makes great sense, and streamlines the process of reviewing and revising manuscripts mightily. I was reminded by past Editor Detmar Straub that we're actually the oldest mainstream peer-reviewed MIS publication around. Having started life years ago as an in-house publication of the ACM SIGMIS (or, what used to be called "business information technology"), this publication has been through a number of evolutions. Hang on, we're only getting started! We are just wrapping up our survey with Thomson ISI for cover-age in the Social Sciences Citation Index, we've launched an online portal for managing the review process, we've expanded coverage globally with our Global Co-Editor Patrick Chau in Hong Kong. There's more in the works; stay tuned. As of this issue we bid adieu and good luck to our friend Denny Kramer, who has been Technical Editor for the publication for years. Denny got an offer he could not refuse (just remember to call him "Dean Kramer" next time you see him) and had to bow out of the Technical Editor duties. As of our next issue, Prof. Clint Lanier of the Center for the Study of Rhetoric and Applied Communication at The University of Memphis takes the reins. Welcome Clint!. We have some very interesting research themed issues coming soon. The response to the call for papers for the Virtual Worlds issue was extensive; expect something extra-special from that within the year. We have an issue planned from selected top-tier papers from the new AIS conference in China, and we will be welcoming Al Hevner to our pages as Guest Editor for a very special issue on Software Testing, shortly. Data Base - more than just database research. In fact, you'll find, and we heartily welcome, just about any topic in the area of information systems in our pages. Just as has been the case for years, and years and years. Did I say we're the oldest general MIS publication around?. We welcome your participation in this fine tradition. Send us your papers at our submission portal, http://www.editorialmanager.com/sigmisdb/.
