[Journal] Vol 6. looking good...

[Scott Mitchell]

If all looks close, I'd strongly urge getting it out, even if from a somewhat selfish perspective - keeping the "news" section semi up to date has been somewhat challenging, and I must admit much of what is in there is questionable as "news" as a result. I don't mind it as is, but if we wait any longer, it will need a rewrite.
