I highly encourage people to grab this opportunity. Not only does it mean
you'll get to work with two brilliant editors, but it can only be a Good
Thing for more to be written about IA, especially in a peer-reviewed format.
This is a great chance to have a snapshot of what IAs are thinking about in
2001, and will be exciting to look back to for future reference and
comparisons.
