If you can be the pointman, which is great, I think the material will 
follow. I can definitely pump out 2-3 columns per year. David Steffen also 
has an initial idea for a CGI piece, and I suggest that he correspond with 
you, also I'd be happy to look at it.

I think we can probably even count on reviewers to be in pretty steady 
supply, so the work you'll have will be coordination and just sort of being 
"steady", which is what I can't guarantee.

I have one column coming out for the next PerlMonth; after that I'm not sure 
what the plan is.

Anyhow, thank you. I'll put some thought into column piece ideas.
