Pity. > I never heard of such an initiative or else I would have supported it and volunteered to help. You may (or may not) recall that during many years I sole-handedly edited the Reports of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, after Willie Moser stepped down from this job. It was a lot of work for me, but I am afraid that it served little purpose. Had I known of such an initiative (for a proper journal), I would have devoted my energy to it rather than to the Reports. In the end it was the Department itself which decided that there was no need for the Reports (and thus for me) any longer.
