I think we have enough
section editors, and I think there are lots of authors waiting to
contribute too. But further than that we need:
* one or two others interested in helping oversee the process, e.g. a
senior editor
* technical assistant (could be same as above) to help manage various
tasks in the online system/tools
* latex experts to help improve look and feel of journal, plus help
convert contributed content.
* peer review panel - some who are most familiar with issues of peer
review and who can help make sure we "do it right"
* promoters - to advertise and promote the journal to appropriate places
