[Mpra-english] New editors

[Fernando Estrada]

Dear Professor Ekkehart

Thanks for your mail.

I think the key is to keep some regularity in assisting the authors.

In my case I felt quite comfortable doing this work. An balanced
distribution of editorial work will always depend on maintaining a level of
commitment to MPRA.

Receive many greetings

Fernando Estrada

> 2) to perform their weekly norm (or a bit more) at once if they see

> What do you think?

> Thank you all for your good work!
