Some naïve (though not totally innocent) questions from someone who’s not involved in any way in the business side of an academic or professional association.
* What is most costly, in academic publishing?
* How do Matthew Wolf-Meyer’s “UCP numbers”:http://www.tc.umn.edu/%7Ewolf0358/afterculture.htm stack up with the AAA’s?

Funding: The total cost of one year’s worth of publications (2 issues, 200 pages) is approximately $3200 (based on University of California Press figures and including the costs of formatting, online storage and publicity).

* What are the conditions for having publications included in “Project MUSE”:http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/ ?
* What has been presented to the AAA membership as options for online access of journal contents?
* In terms of diffusion of knowledge (not in terms of prestige or “professional development”) what advantages are scholars getting from publishing in AAA publications?

Again, these questions are quite naïve but other people are likely asking themselves those same questions. None of this is meant as criticism of AAA members. Just trying to understand the situation.
