Looking on to future issues, I think we need to find a way to get each 
publication out the door faster. Some of the articles in Vol 6 are over 
2 years old! I thought to suggest to limit each volume to one or two of 
the topics that we usually try to cover. In other words, one issue would 
be dedicated to project updates, the next perhaps case studies, etc. 
Each issue would be much shorter, of course, but there'd be a better 
chance of publishing content in a timely manner. As it is already, one 
issue a year is more or less dedicated to the annual report. My 
suggestion is to expand that model to other areas that the journal tries 
to cover.

Best regards,
Micha
