Good thoughts there, Devin. Text files would indeed be more accessible, and 
allow people to easily "grab" them, use excerpts, etc. This seems user 
friendly, which is good. I question whether editing makes sense, because that can sure 
slow things down, especially if the editor is not the same person as the 
writer. I'd say that even dated stuff might as well stand, as it will be presented 
as something from the archives.

Perhaps each of us could go through some back issues and suggest some items 
we think are worth presenting on the site. Once some of those are picked, we 
have incentive to move forward with this plan.
