<delurk>I agree wholeheartedly with James on the technical recommendation to continue using Drupal and supporting OJS. We have to walk the talk in terms of supporting Open Access/Data/Source. Since modes of scholarly communication are evolving under our noses I also really like the idea of trying something new, like open peer review/soft peer review. I think socially-networked collaborative tools can be exploited to create a record of knowledge and its construction for communities of practice. </delurk> Laura At 09:47 AM 4/11/2007, James R.
