I am one of the open-eyes dreamer of an aoir journal, and I am in!
In the past , I  have volunteered  on the project of creating our  journal, 
for the exec. The  large majority of aoir members agreed in principle, but 
than making the project a reality was the real issue.  Simply there were not 
enough resources 2 years ago, and the project was postponed to more mature 
conditions. An aoir journal is not a one-time project, or something we can 
do with 2 or 3 volunteers (I agree with Jeremy) ; creating an aoir journal 
means to have and organize resources following a structure/project , many 
other ingredients including sponsors, and most of all sustainability.  In 
the past there were no opportunities to pay someone or find sponsors (but  I 
was not yet the Treasurer !! )

What a great service to  Aoir members , scholars, and students to have our 
journal  would be !
I am definitively available to re-open this initiative and collaborate with 
Jeremy , Caroline and all who will express a serious interest  or  can 
volunteer time and resources for an aoir-journal.  Not sure, but let'see if 
*our community* is ready to make the dream come true this time!!?
