:hey,
:  I was wondering if you guys wanted to talk about Editorial at the Gen.  Mtg., or maybe meet an hour earlier (@ 6:00) to go thru some things.  What do you think?

As usual I'm unlikely to make it in person.  I don't have particularly
strong views on either topic but here's my htoughts any way.
  
:  One thing that I just thought of, for example, is that there's been a  tradition for editors to center their own news... But I think those  articles should go thru the same scrutiny as all others.

Seems to make sense.  An email to the editorial list with a link to
the article would be nice then someone else would (probably) center
it.  I can't think of any articles where this ahs been a problem but
peer review is a good thing. 

:  There is the US placement question too. And I think Jamie always has tons of ideas about this...

I think either way makes some sense.  US IMC does have more relevence
to our readership but there's not so many projects at that level tha
alphabetizing will make it hard to notice, so I have a very weak
preference for keeping things as they are there, but as I said either
way is fine by me.
