This month will race by, as you well know, but I am not going to go through the stress of late papers any more, so Jan 1st is not just a target date, but an almost deadline. If you are in contact with any potential authors on other matters, please slip them the word that the editor is perfectly willing to go to press with a 25-page volume, if that is all that is to hand.

I'm sure if the IAS set up a group on facebook, a thing I have recomeneded on the facebook page, then more members would come forward that way. Groups stay on any members' home page, whereas a submission to the IAS page newsfeed is quickly pushed down the page by other facebook friend and news updates.

We
stay
with Allen Press because of the service they provide in doing layout,
working with the authors, and handling mailing ... and much of our cost
is in those items, not the actual printing. Certainly a discussion
could be had whether this is worth it, but without a dedicated group of
folks available in a single location ( Miami
) these days, it is
difficult to get the kind of reliable volunteer dedication needed to do
our own mailing, layout and packaging. I consider it a small miracle
that even with the help of Allen Press, we've managed to get the journal
out more or less on time this past decade ... it was much worse before
when we used a different printer and did more stuff by ourselves.
- We've attempted to satisfy the desires for color through the online
newsletter - wherein there are published a lot more pretty pictures of
plants. Many of the same authors ( Peter and Tom, reliably ) will do
both scientific articles for Aroideana and more travelogue-type stuff
for the newsletter. We should have something from both of them in the
December edition, which I am laying out this week.
In short, I think we'd all love to do more color and all love to
publish more frequently, but the small size of the society and a desire
to put out a product on-time and reliably has so far limited our
abilities in this area. I'd be happy to personally answer any questions
off-list; I am apparently having trouble keeping up with Aroid-L on a
regular basis this holiday season.
