Recent postings have commented about the lateness of a couple of ACM's
publications.  The Publications Board is aware of this, and has appointed
a task force (of which I am a member) to try to deal with it.

The current status of TOCS, as last I heard it reported, was that it was
around 6 months behind schedule.  The good news was that the paper flow
in that publication had improved, so that hopefully it will start catching
up.

TOSEM is off to a late start, and it won't start publishing for several
more months.  Those of you who have already subscribed to it will notice
that you've received a credit towards your next year's subscription; this
appears in your renewal notice.  Starting a publication is nontrivial, and
requires enough high quality papers to sustain beyond the first issue.  
The paper flow to sustain the journal appears has required longer time than
expected.
