[Insight-developers] IJ Volunteers

[Gaëtan Lehmann]

Stephen,

Have I said or done something wrong ?
I'm writting a review for each new paper I'm able to review - perhaps I'm  
late of 1 review or 2 - but I'll not submit 3 reviews per paper, and will  
not submit reviews for my own ones.

I'm asking about reviewer associate because their role is to assign some  
reviewers to a paper, and most of the papers in the IJ are still lacking  
of reviews - Note that I'm only talking about the contributions to ITK,  
not about the articles for the MICCAI. I would be pleased to incite  
potential reviewers to write more reviews, but again, I have seen nothing  
about the editor associate since your last mail.

Alsso, it seem that the ITK developers are not getting that letting a  
contribution for 6 or 9 months in the insight journal without much  
activity is like saying

   "we don't care about your work and the time you spent to write your  
article".

If there can't be more reviewers for the contributions to the insight  
journal, do not require 3 reviews to integrate it in the toolkit, are stop  
asking people to post their code to the IJ. If you (developers) really  
don't care, just keep things like that - that's fine.

Some days like this one, I'm really not sure why I'm still using the IJ,  
and warning their owners about what is wrong - it also look like a huge  
waste of time
