A refined, combined, idea:

Issue #14 could be an open-ended "collective" issue, whose articles are
edited by the JoPP community as a whole, indeed peer produced :-)

They could include text from previous work, but "remixed" with the new
collective text like what George Perec did in his "Life: a user manual",
and also The residents with their music.

There could be one new article every year or something, following a
simple structure or narrative. It could be something around what needs
to be done in this moment of crisis and urgency ...
