This is a bit of a struggle at the moment - basically our LDAP authentication 
backend isn't working with OJS at the moment.  So I've had to change the way 
users are authenticated.

Could the current editors/reviewers please try logging in and let me know if 
you still cannot.  In that case I'll have to reset your password for you.  
Sorry for the confusion on this.

Landon or others, could you please try logging and dropping me a note?
 
All your changes and suggestions re: vol 6 sound good - thanks so much for 
keeping us on our toes.  Editors who have stuck with us during this transition 
to OJS and waterfalling deadlines, thank you too!

Could I suggest a small change to that?  

It might be best to keep the various review/edit cycles in OJS - since the 
communication tools are there to support that.  After the higher level 
editing, copyediting and reviewing is done - THEN move it to SVN.  

So, don't move it to SVN until it's all out of the authors and reviewers hands 
- then SVN won't be a barrier for anyone.  This would also be the time we want 
to start adding the .tex files into a master document for a draft compiled 
volume.

Does that make sense?  Sorry if I wasn't clear earlier  :[
