Thanks Helena,
Would you suggest more like 8 weeks then?  We can treat non peer
reviewed stuff similar to your "letters/technical notes".  The rest
would be like full papers at 6 weeks + 2 weeks for revisions.  If
anything "major" then we bump them into the next quarterly issue.
Having a regular schedule certainly helps on this front.
