The reason they have the calendar, and deadlines on a monthly basis, is because they're trying to make 'magazines'. Each article still has page numbers and is intended to fit together as a whole.

They would be much more helped by abandoning the idea of these as comprehensive, coherent publications. Killing the idea of issues and of these being magazine, and just releasing 'stuff', whatever else they want to call it, would be a lot better for them. They could even keep the final monthly compilations.
