I will continue to work on the journal and I hope to find more time this 
year to fill my positon.

I am happy with my role.

Hmmm, no idea here. I also think that the process is fast enough.

Trying to install/download latex on Windows while using a 56kbit line in 
Indonesia. ;-)

Its circulation. I am not sure about this, but I have the feeling that 
the number of people reading the OSGeo journal is still rather limited.

Between 2 an 4 volumes a year is fine.
