I haven't looked at your version, yet, but a few answers to your questions:

Our draft is quite long, and I wouldn't be too surprised, if reviewers will 
tell us to reduce this a bit. However, looking at a couple of the recent 
papers (http://www.jstatsoft.org/v37) we don't seem to be completely off 
limits. Of course the question of what exactly the editors expect an article 
for the R GUIs special issue to look like is a good question.

For all I know, there is no printed version of the JSS at all, so this should 
not be an issue. Other articles do have color figures.

I can't find any statement on footnotes, but other articles do have footnotes.

Well, the deadline for submission is December, 31st. So I guess we should aim 
to have a stable draft (i.e. complete content) next weekend, and start to 
focus on the conversion to tex and the fine points (spelling, language, style, 
etc.) directly after. Stefan, do you have a tentative schedule?
