[Journal] Managing the next volume..

[Yann Chemin]

Tyler,

What a bout choosing/inviting a guest editor for each release?
That person would have the coordinating role of scientific content
especially, she/he would be sent draft for review/approval.

The person does not need to be into it, but just review (on a separate
document or by email) and approve quality, maybe this will offload
from your shoulders.

Cheers,
Yann
