[Journal] Volume 5 and beyond

[Rafal Wawer]

Nice ot see some sporting activity in the journal mailinglist! (-;

I always wondered if the OSGeo annual reports could be kept "outside" the Journal. 
So far the Journal was mainly a container for the annual report, while the papers appeared rather rarely.
As we already streamlined the admission/review process, wouldn't it be nice to finally separate annual reports from the papers, placing the reports not in the Journal but 4ex in annals, parallel to it? The numeration of the Journal would be then given only to scientific editions. 
Now, it is quite confusing for the Journal's (potential) readers - looking for papers they mostly find OSGeo annual reports. (-;

Best regards:

That's right, it will be call OSGeo 2008 Annual Report, but also Vol 5. for administrative purposes.

Some authors have changes that need to be made to their articles still (based on reviewer comments), so they are not ready to publish yet.

Thank you,
