Obsession with twngan

I guess this deserve a bit explanation (and more publicity). It has been a while, but the problem is still there. Basically, the prices that publishers are charging have gone up crazily in the last few years. True, those publishers have done nice indexing, web interfacing, providing pdfs, and whatnot, but the insane prices would just prevent reasonable dissemination of information. After all, the most valuable part of the articles, i.e. the contents, are already provided for free. So last year Don Knuth wrote this public letter to the editorial board of Journal of Algorithms (JoA), one of the most prestigious journals in theory, about this situation. One thing led to another, the whole editorial board of JoA has resigned, and became the editorial stuff of a new journal, ACM Transactions of Algorithms. They also promised that "individuals and libraries will be able to subscribe at an attractive price similar to those of other ACM journals."

I don't want to pinpoint any particular publisher. But to me personally, the timing couldn't be any worse, since this was right after my first JoA paper got accepted...
