DU Deleted account Public Seen by 274

Dear all,

we have been silent for quite a long time. However, we have been working hard behind the scenes. We can now report the following:

The Steering Committee is created and scheduled to meet in early 2019 (late January or early February) at INRIA Paris. During the meeting, it is expected that the Steering Committee discusses the following items ordered on their importance:
* Scope of the overlay journal and its name.
* Nomination of very high caliber members in the editorial committee and the definition of the renewal mechanism.
* Review procedure.
* Sustainable science (data sets and algorithms).
* Host of the overlay journal.
* Latex-based editorial tools and services for high-quality formatting.

The targeted date for the official creation of the Overlay Journal in Mechanics is June 2019.

To be continued...
The happy Overlay Journal team.

I agree, but not now. For now, the people on this forum are mostly from the numerical mechanics. This is clearly not the targeted audience. If you make choice for other branches of mechanics, it is quite simple, this will mostly be a numerical mechanics journal. So this vote will comfort you in your opinion.

All that being said, you've shown you are very opinionated, so I'll let you have the last word... :P
