An addendum to what Dave writes above:

It is my understanding is that these 4 pages are _strictly_ for AGA
business and news.  Our members would _still_ be encouraged to write and
submit articles as they always have.  The difference is that they will
actually get paid for them.  We could also give them a years free
membership, but I don't think it's necessary if they will be paid for their
contribution.

With Dave's current "wish list" for articles, I think it might even
encoursge people _more_ to not be intimidated about writing beginner
articles and experiences.  Same with write-ups presenting some of the very
nice display tanks that we know people have.

While it certainly wouldn't (couldn't) be a regular feature, (I wish!!!) I
think we should also include reviews of books on planted aquariums as they
become available, just as we have in the past.
