Just quietly putting this out there before we start promoting this more widely. We have developed an innovative way to migrate a journal in less than a minute...if you want a forward peek let me know.
@kentbeck I mentioned you in an article on OSS and SDLC methods. perhaps of interest... https://www.robotscooking.com/exploring-development-methods-in-software-development/
Does Open Source Software belong in the history of Software Development Life Cycle Methodologies? https://www.robotscooking.com/exploring-development-methods-in-software-development/
Shhh....early release of CokoDocs website...site doesn't work well on mobile yet (early release!) https://cokodocs.net
Pondering on writing a book...maybe actually 3 short volumes each containing a collection of essays. Volumes I'm pondering are : Publishing. Open Source. Community Building.
Alex Holcombe"Review processes can vary wildly. Some communities require one round of reviews only, others look all the world like a typical journal review process...
The format of the review also varies considerably between communities. Some communities treat reviews separately, others prefer a collaborative review process. Some communities actively engage the author in a threaded discussion and curate that discussion as part of a shared (published) author response."
Better than a traditional gatekeeper academic journal are the new review platforms (in my opinion), but how should such platforms work?

"we have spoken to numerous funders and institutions to ask them to use our eLife Assessments as part of their evaluation process, and we’ll be making various announcements in the coming weeks to highlight the wide support we’ve received". Curious to hear more about this!
Innovation at eLife: An Interview with Damian Pattinson
eLife's recent announcement that it will reinvent itself as a 'service that reviews preprints” has generated much discussion over recent weeks. But what are the primary drivers and goals, and what might we all learn from this bold experiment?
"Many are frustrated at the inertia in the current system ... What we are doing at @eLife is creating an alternative publishing model and providing an alternative output that can be used in research assessment. We are convinced that others will take up this model over time." Indeed, I'm sure others will take similar steps. The developments in this space in the coming years are going to be extremely interesting! https://upstream.force11.org/elife-reviewed-preprints-interview-with-fiona-hutton/ @mfenner
eLife Reviewed Preprints: Interview with Fiona Hutton
