Of course, it wouldn't be a challenge if we weren't holding our feet to the fire with the possibility of public embarrassment. All of us have signed on the dotted line, and committed to getting these puppies out the door by January 1, 2010!
It's not too late to sign up yourself! There's always room for one more - so join the party!

Good Luck to you all!! :)
Nick Gardner
unspecified paper with Mickey Mortimer
Should specify, it's a statistical comparative analysis of the evolution of sauropod size--it just involves a mystery specimen. ;-)
Brian Beatty
Calvert Formation Terrestrial Mammals Review with Ralph Eshelman (sorry Ralph!)
There's one thing I should clarify about this: I hope to complete my end of the research by 2010, but I can't speak for Dr. Hungerbuehler (who will be co-authoring).
The tyrannosaur heterochrony/paleoecology thing (see NAPC 2009, for instance).
well, let's see:
Plateosaurus CAE (is waiting for the two other diss chapters to come out of review)
both reviewers of one of those told me at SVP that it will take a while. So Jan 1 is a no-no. :(
sauropods rearing
Yup, feasible.
alligator muscle cross sections
non-Plateosaurus at MFN description
difficult - depends on how well my new laser scanner works.
sauropodomorph rapid locomotion
again, feasible.
So I guess it is down to those two.
Andy--when you have a chance to update the list, I'm working on a review paper on the Spinosauridae that I'd like to add to it (since it's not under the same constraints my other project is, I have no reason not to get it done before the deadline ;-) )).
How many of these will go to PLoS ONE, I wonder ;-)
