Has everyone else seen JOSIS:

http://josis.org/index.php/josis/index

it seems to be run on volunteer effort, and needs 3 editors-in-chief
and a whole load of luminaries on the editorial board. Plus
who-knows-how-many reviewers (they just got one more).

They're also using OJS for journal management, and seem to have open
comments on pre-published articles.

 They don't seem to say how often they publish an issue though.
Perhaps these days the concept of an 'issue' is becoming meaningless,
and articles should just be published when the editor gets the reviews
and gives the okay? Click a button and there it is in everyone's RSS
feed.
