<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>
