[Journal] Re: question on OSGeo Journal

[Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo)]

Your proposal looks good to me Dan, thanks for taking the time to  
write it down.

How critical do you think it is to have a particular section for peer  
review articles?  I'd rather not relegate part of the Journal to be  
only for Peer Review articles, as such a category may be functionally  
useful but meaningless for the average reader who won't care.  I'd  
rather add some sort of header or footer or intro. text to peer  
reviewed articles so they are obvious to the reader but still fit  
within our "case study" or "integration" sections.

Will that work?

Could you move the text from Talk:Journal to http://wiki.osgeo.org/ 
index.php/Journal_Peer_Review instead?  Then we can make this a  
formal page specifically around the peer review concept.

Thanks again, let's get started by first checking any of the proposed  
papers that are already in the queue.  Giuliano would you like to be  
the first to try out the process?
