As a PBS member, I do enjoy the printed copy but an online publication is
fine as well.

As for a mailing list vs a forum for communications, I strongly prefer the
mailing list. As has been mentioned a forum requires a great deal of
management time and usually one person ends up 'owning' it, creating either
a welcoming group or a not so welcoming group. I've seen both kinds. Aside
from occasional rants that I can ignore, this group is amazingly calm and
even handed on postings and responses.

I absolutely treasure the wiki and all the incredible knowledge within it.
Bravo to every person who has contributed to it.

Cheers,

Karl asked

If there's no editor for the printed version how will you manage an

online

only newsletter? As a paying member, I appreciate the print version but
would accept an online version over having no newsletter.

One option we are considering for an online journal is occasional rather
than scheduled, deadline-based publication. This is my own preference and
would offer the opportunity to print longer, sometimes more technical
articles as well as the contributions that now appear in the Bulb Garden,
along with some features typical of disciplinary journals, such as a list
of articles of interest in other journals. There is a committee

discussing

options and we will report to the members in a couple of months. The

staff

could have both a corresponding editor and a copyeditor, as well as

someone

to do the formatting for posting online.
