Update:
'Publication' has been delayed because I've been looking into changing
the appearance of the newsletter. But if this looks like it's going to
delay publication too long, I'll go ahead and bring the newsletter out
in its current style, by early next week. Apologies for the delay, but it will be worth waiting for however it looks!
