''The Augustan Omnibus'' is now on a semi-annual schedule, and the [[Omnibus Editor|Editor]] is asking that we increase that to three issues per year. It has yet to be shown that the rate of submissions will be sufficient to maintain that rate of publication, but it does give one hope that our journal may return to its former size, frequency, and prominence in the field.
[[AugustaeumAugustæum|''Augustæum'']] has proven a worthy tool, both for staying in more regular contact that the ''Omnibus'' schedule will permit, and particularly for giving management the means for quick communications with the membership. In an age of electronic communications, it's difficult to keep ahead of the rumors, but we seem to be keeping up well. Indeed, letters received that say, “Why didn't I know about this earlier?” are thus actually quite reassuring.
The [[Roll of Arms]] project has had a rocky history of late. With an inactive [[Hereditary Order of Armigerous Augustans|HOAA]], it was taken on by the [[Communications|Publications Committee]]. First a color reprint of Volume I was targeted, then the focus was switched to a new Volume IV. More change may well be in the offing. The major challenge is with obtaining translations of the blazons into “English”, as our Vice-Deputy Justiciar Generals are not uniformly responsive. This project, along with new registrations or arms, badly needs a traffic manager; someone to track which blazons are ready, which have gone to the artist, right through to delivery of certificates.
