Interesting set of slides. Have you come across the codeproject site, it is an interesting example of an open article submission forum for the open source community, they have over 4,000,000 subscribers and 1000s of articles online, all submitted by enthusiasts. I wish we could see the same thing happen in science but Natureprecedings is definitely a step in this direction. I like the idea of the community deciding whether a given article is interesting or not by voting and commenting. In codeproject all articles are published and as a reader, one can rank the articles by popularity and/or topic and just browse the top 25 percent.
