[Journal] Current interest level in OSGeo Journal?

[Helena Mitasova]

Barend, thank you for answering the email from Eli, I agree that there seems to be no volunteers to pursue this effort, the conference papers were published through other means, mostly special issues of indexed journals,
but it would be useful to give heads-up on OSGeo discuss that the mail list is going to be closed and the past issues will be archived - I cc-d Peter here maybe he has some suggestions 
on suitable repository.

I repaired that bit, but really have no time or interest for more. I suggest someone should at least archive the stuff that is there, maybe just a list of and PDFs of the issues that are present...?

I believe that there have been related successes in the past to publish OSGeo editions in other indexed journals.
