<br>
Let's work with Christian, Barend, Venka, and others to try and<br>
coordinate our actions on the Journal. Before starting another<br>
Volume, can you participate in some of the recent list traffic?<br>
Particularly how we operate, policies, listed contact information and<br>
expected responsiveness.<br>
<br>
The last Annual Report was essentially completed and never published<br>
pending some final work by you,<br>
<a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/newsletter/2014-October/001160.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/newsletter/2014-October/001160.html</a><br>
I put substantial effort into copy editing that potential Volume and<br>
am disinclined to work with you if the work is going to be wasted and<br>
not go to publication.<br>
<br>
Once we work out how the Journal is going to operate, and if we have<br>
enough people contributing, then I'm more than happy to continue<br>
contributing copy editing to the Journal.<br>
<br>
Best regards, Eli<br>
