Well I don't think there was any real interest in having a journal on the level of an actual publisher. It seemed more on the alignment of something like First Monday but with even less structure/schedule. From what I remember, which may be wrong, it was more of a collection of community output and not a competitor to any existing items. It would be more informal like the anthology project, though I could see some people then taking their work and republishing it elsewhere more formally. Again maybe I'm mistaken but I don't think anyone was planning on actually starting a full-fledged journal on Elsevier or the like. Just expanding already great blog posts or internal papers into something that could benefit the community. I think it was discussed on this list so the archives should probably share more. I thought there was a page on the wiki but can't find it now.
