I know we've decided to go for print, but here's a message form the UPenn people - they've been doing it for nearly 15 years, and check out what they say:
Dear PWPL 14.1 author,
The U. Penn Working Papers in Linguistics Volume 14.1, Proceedings of the 31st Annual Penn Linguistics Colloquium, was published in print in February, and this week it went online. It is the second volume of PWPL to be published online, with free access.
We found that with volume 13.2, the first volume to go online, several of the articles had already received more visibility in just four months than many of our older articles published only in print ever had.
The volume can be browsed online, and hard-copy ordering instructions (including author discounts) can be found, at our website:

Regards,
PWPL

Hi,
In the last meeting of 2007-2008 we talked about this issue.
The first issue is going to be avaliable online soon. I think Alyson and Elizabeth are working together to make it online asap.
A brief note:
In our meetings, for the first issue, we did NOT decide to have print copies only. We had decided to have both: limited paper copy first then online publication at the website.
Yet, of course, new officers can decide how to proceed.
I'd like to add that a representative of Linguistics Abstracts contacted me and is interested in including all of our article abstracts in their database and yearly hard copy publication. Go here, http://www.linguisticsabstracts.com/HomePage_NonMember.aspx >
and browse the list of journals they include in their coverage. The exposure that is possible from this is very exciting and it may serve to encourage more people to submit their work as well, if they know how widely their work may be read!
Alyson - Terrific news! Please let them include our working papers in their database.
