[Journal] Help on LaTex Syntax for Journal

[Daniel Ames]

Tyler,

On the LaTeX side of things, I'm not a pro tex-er so we hired someone to
format the Marchionni and Dunsford papers. Did they turn out OK with respect
to formatting? Our $50 on Odesk.com saved us hours of trying to learn LaTeX.
Is that too lazy? I'd be happy to sponsor some of the other papers as
well...

As for updating case studies, I'd argue to let them go as is if they
previously went through peer review successfully (as these all have). It's
often an unfortunate byproduct of our academic peer review system that
papers get published a year or two after the work was done. Though if we are
clever we can try to reduce that lag time for the OSGeo Journal.
