[Journal] Volume 8

[Eli Adam]

I put a few links on the wiki pertaining to review guidelines.  They vary in relevance, but in the absence of anything else, I found them useful.

I logged in here, https://www.osgeo.org/ojs/index.php/journal/login, but did not find options to document edits.  I sent them to Landon as an attachment.

Bests, Eli

Franz-Josef, you and Eli both have a good question here.  Eli summed it up 
well, though in additional things to look for:

You can use the online system to document what edits should be done and the 
author can resubmit with corrections.  Or likewise, we can catalog the changes 
in a comment and then (the section editor) can edit the document itself if 
there aren't too many changes.

For the FOSS4G proceedings we should primarily just check for obvious things 
and not treat it like peer review since they were reviewed once already by an 
academic committee.
