I am not so convinced that an open review model as the decisive factor
for a new geoinformatics journal will make it a success, also given that
this review model is not new, setting up a successful journal is a huge
challenge, and there are too many unsuccessful journals already.

If there is a need for a new geoinformatics journal with an open review
model, I would first talk to
http://publications.copernicus.org/open-access_journals/journals_by_subject.html
-- they have gained a strong reputation over the past decade
particularly with open review/open access journals in the geosciences.
