I would be very pleased to see more "scientific" articles published in PBS organs. But the publication of Herbertia was one of IBS's crippling expenses which led to the organization's demise. Resurrecting something like Herbertia is a nice idea, but not one that should be taken lightly.

I enjoyed both types of articles and the quality maintained was really good. There are many ways to cut costs and reduce editor's time. We have in the recent past discussed this topic, and I think the opinions back then as they are now is that it will be difficult to find contributors and editor(s) to maintain the publication. Although I could be one of those editors, I cannot do it in my current position. If anyone is willing to be an editor for the journal, let me know.
