There have been three issues so far, and they deal with a range of topics around working with endangered languages, for example, Vol 1.No1 has a good discussion of file formats and what they mean  and Vol 1 No.3 includes an overview of types of microphones. There are also more general discussions of the role of ethnography in language recording, and lists of relevant events in Europe.
