eLanguage and historical linguistics

Dear all,
I'd like to bring histling subscribers' attention to the LSA's eLanguage
cojournal site (http://elanguage.net/). eLanguage is set up as a set of
"cojournals" (that is, independent journals with their own editorial boards
and referee process), but with a single web host and related infrastructure.


It would be great if historical linguistics had its own cojournal. Some
informal discussions I've had would indicate that there's considerable
interest in a new historical journal, that the current outlets for
historical journal publications have no shortage of quality submissions and
that a new publication would not hurt them, and that it would be a good way
to raise the profile of our field.

Would someone be interested in taking this on? Information about proposing a
cojournal can be found here: http://elanguage.net/propose.php Perhaps a
small group of histling subscribers would be interested in getting together
to put a proposal together? (note, I'm not volunteering; unfortunately, I
just don't have the time.)

Claire
