<DIV></DIV>Landon, I'm still interested and wiling to help out as a section
editor. Perhaps on Programming Tutorials or Peer Reviewed Articles... I've tried
to drive submissions to the peer reviewed section in the past, and think there
is still hope for this section to become quite interesting - but it will require
drumming up business from the academic community and trying to convince them to
publish here. If anyone has thoughts on how to encourage that, please share.
Thanks, Dan<BR><BR><SPAN class=028191408-19102009><FONT color=#0000ff size=2
