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?
