Default What's going on with Lindleyana?

Thinking to finally subscribe to Lindleyana I went to the AOS website to
discover almost all mention of it is gone from there. I did a web search
and found the following blurb which I pasted below. Does anybody have any
furthur info on this journal?

"Bad news: with much regret we must announce that the American Orchid
Society ceased its publication of Lindleyana in December 2002 with volume
17. Despite several promotions and publicity to encourage circulation
figures that would pay for printing and distribution of this respected
quarterly, the budget shortfall in today's lacklustre economy forced the AOS
to take this unfortunate decision.

"Good news: we have just learned that a leading scientific institution is
considering adopting the journal and continuing publication. More
information will be available here when and if the agreement between all
concerned parties is formalized. In the meantime, please continue to submit
papers for Lindleyana to its distinguished editor, Dr. Mark Chase, at the
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew."
