[Syrphidae] Re: from Jeroen

[bastiaaw]

Hi Jeroen,

That's a great initiative! A new journal would be fantastic of course,
as I too thought it was missing and have been looking into how that
could work technically/administrativly.
As always, and mentioned a couple of times, syrphidae.com can be used
to host such initiatives too.

Cheers,
Bastiaan
