Great idea, I like the different thinking on how peer review can be done more effectively. I think another aspect of rethinking publishing in the digital era is to allow much more flexibility and creative in the materials that can be served as supplementary material to the paper. Raw data, source code, and entire analysis histories should be able to provide a more detailed record of a scientist’s work than that traditional written narative alone.

I agree this is really exciting, a venture that finally seems to realise the potential of what we can do with the internet and academic publishing, giving everyone the right to access and critique research.
