Hello,

If we need time to create one release, it would be better to take our time. 
For exemple, trying to release one volume by year and if it is ok we can 
publish the journal more frequently.

The number of page could decrease if we increse the number of volume by year. 
But it appears to me clearly that we have to publish the volume at the time 
we choose, and after improving the process and increase the number of volume 
by year.

One volume is quiet low, so I would prefer working on 2 volumes by year.

Regards,

Y.
