Frankly, my concern (I hear the tape drives whirring faster as I think about this) is that you have rushed out of the gate of a conference with great enthusiasm and then something will happen and the journal will not happen. You might consider, instead of attempting a regular publication, the online version of a conference monograph, with everyone tackling specific topics and the target date to be... let's see, a few weeks prior to Access. Two publications a year might be reasonable. Or, new-tyme-style, perhaps one great article a month, leading up to the Northern version of the conference.
Why does it have to follow /any/ traditional publishing model? I sort of like the idea that maybe 3 articles come out in a week, then nothing for a week or two, then another article comes out, and then one comes out every day for a 13 day span. If the delivery method is purely electronic, and it's a given that the intended audience would have tools to be alerted of new articles, why bother with a formal schedule? -Ross.
