Well, I find myself excited and a little confused by your description of Archipelago 2.0, John. I think that we'll have to experience the new format and play with it a while before we can give you an informed opinion.

I do think, however, that it is an excellent idea to streamline the format so there is not such a burden on the editor. That is an essential step to making this puppy marketable, as you well note. I also like the notion of making the process of going through an issue less time consuming.

So Fly, John! Fly from this ark and bring us back an olive branch from the land of 2.0. Let us see what you have wrought.

[Editor's note: Actually, I haven't "wrought" it yet; it's still on the drawing board. But soon!]
