[Journal] Update and next steps

[Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo)]

Hi all, sorry for little to no communication over the past couple  
months - I've been focused on other work.  Interest in the journal  
has continued to grow over the past 6 months and I believe we have  
more editors and reviewers ready to contribute than before.  However,  
my time availability on the journal has been much reduced and I'm  
still looking for more ways/ideas to help make the journal happen.

I would like to open up the discussion on this list to find some  
ways, maybe a volunteer - even temporary - associate editor who can  
help see the next volume through production.  Volume 4 is still the  
OSGeo Annual Report and no it has not all been finalised yet.  If you  
are looking for something to do, I encourage you to grab a copy from  
SVN and review/edit it.  It is certainly ready for review, though one  
primary article is missing.

I think the next steps for Volume 5 are to get all article  
submissions into the online system:
http://www.osgeo.org/ojs/index.php/journal
Currently there are only 6 articles in the system.  But if we can get  
the number up to maybe 10, then I think it would be a good time to  
start the production cycle.  Until then, let's discuss any ideas you  
have - then wait and see for when we get enough articles for an issue.

Make sense?
