[Vp-integration-subgroup] [Vp-reproduce-subgroup] White paper revision

Hi Jacob,

I think the point the group is making is that there was feedback on the 
manuscript from the previous journal, which required substantially 
revising the manuscript; that's what the group has been trying to do 
(though the effort has slowed down a bit).

The previous journal editor raised some valid concerns about the 
manuscript state, and many members of the group agreed that a revision 
is indeed needed before moving to the next venue. Submitting the same 
version of the manuscript to another journal will, I'm afraid, result in 
the same outcome of rejection. If the rejection in the suggested journal 
is hard (i.e., no invitation to resubmit a revised version), then we 
lose a venue for possible publication of the manuscript.

Best,

T.
