Why is it actually shutting down?
Wouldn't it be an idea to hand it over to a group of volunteers interested in the journal? Probably one could find such volunteers here on AIr-L...
Best, Christian

My very first publication appeared there in 2004, and I know an entire generation of us got our start in its pages. Many thanks to Ed and everyone who contributed to building and sustaining such an important venue. End of an era.
