For a summary of last issue's glitches, see VC 18 John 25. The glitches are also discussed in various other of my replies this time. Let's hope this issue is relatively bug free.

Issue 18 of Archipelago includes several significant new features. In particular, there are two new archive stacks (see VC 18 John 21) and a new format for membership cards (see VC 18 John 23).

I was very pleased by the thoughtful discussion about the future of Archipelago - I hope it will continue. The renovation work on Archipelago 2.0 is coming along nicely; I predict that all the dust will have settled by issue 20.

So please continue to test the new features and smoke out those pesky bugs! Thanks!
