I have read with interest the various arguments on the editorial /
journal system and process.

My argument, to reiterate, is to brake away from traditional views of
editorial boards and such.

An open research society should, in my opinion, adopt more the
principles of opensource, including a peer review process where the
many review the many.

Some of you may know the wikipedia (http://wikipedia.org), an online
encyclopedia which is entirely peer reviewed and revised, without an
editorial review board as an intermediary that slows down the
publication process. This model, and the model of slashdot.org or
kuro5hin.org (as mentioned earlier) would seem more appropriate to me,
to produce a paradigm shift.
