Since the part of my life dedicated to jopp was allocated to the special issue i was not really able to contribute to the list as much as i'd wanted but i was happy to follow developments here.  So please post.

Sorry about the signal silence on our side.

We'd like to release imminently(tm).  We missed the deadline we set for ourselves (to release at FAB10.org with a paper version) because we underestimated the workload this entails and we both organised a conference just before.  Having followed FAB10  though we thought that the perspectives in the issue would have been much needed to bring into that discourse and they are both critical and constructive.

Status is that we have all articles in almost final versions and we are putting together the editorial section now.  This weekend we should be starting to upload content on the staging site to feel out how it works and break things.  I agree with your concern with August -- I think next week we will be in a better position to judge.

i could do that.
