It's interesting to think that this system, which results in a study being published a year or two after it was conducted (and perhaps a year or two after it became obsolete)may be attacked from the side of virtually instantaneous peer-review, whether it be wikis or your swarm technique. You could argue that these peer-review processes are actually more rigorous, since the number of reviewers is potentially unlimited. A lot of medical journals in fast-moving fields have already gone to e-format, which has the advantage of small submission-to-press lags as well as greater reference potential through internet searching, etc. I wonder if wiki-journals may be next. It would seem to support a model of strong inference that is sadly lacking...as we see when we learn more in five minutes of conversation with peers at a conference than in a year in between of reading journal articles...

I used to attend the International Housewares Show in Chicago and always wondered why I was the only academic. Next year I'll be out there with you! Have a great time in Las Vegas!

In my experience collaboration is oft talked about, but little practiced. By that I mean that I've found it difficult, but for a few exceptional circumstances, to sustain collaboration. Most of the time I discover that my cohorts really want to work on their own. So I'd be very interested in what you all uncover in your discussions. And while the idea of papers is good, how about a collaborative effort, published perhaps as a static wiki page with an open discussion page? And in the age of over-information why not try for 10 pages? Maybe academic pressures dictate otherwise, but shorter is more likely to be read.
