[Air-l] on conferences

[Steve Jones]

I've been meaning to add to this discussion of journals but haven't  
had time. However, this is a small piece of the overall thread that I  
can quickly respond to.

Jeremy is correct that AoIR did not publish the research annual (but  
he's not correct insofar as it's Peter Lang Publishing that's the  
publisher and not "Steve's Publisher" :-)). It was, as usual with all  
things AoIR, volunteer work that made it happen, and it was primarily  
Mia Consalvo who volunteered. Without here there would not have been  
an annual, just as there would not have been one without the program  
chairs who served as editors, nor without the contributors.

It's also correct that the last research annual will be the last one  
published by Peter Lang. Sales were abysmal, and while I don't have  
the figures in front of me, they were in the neighborhood of fewer  
than 100 sold of each.
