What's wrong with hosting it at one of WMF wikis? Meta or Wikiversity
seem rather appropriate?
*Scientific issue : the journal requires rather a broad and definite
general thematic, in order to receive diverse and, yet, coherent
submissions. Perhaps a focus on epistemological topics (open access…)
or communication topics (wiki-system and so on…) could deem
appropriate, as it would allow to go beyond disciplinary barriers.
I'd suggest focusing on the area of wiki studies, nothing more and
nothing less.
*Financial issue : a small grant from the WMF would be enough to
start. As the journal is to rely on volunteer work, all we have to do
is to ensure the technical bare necessities.
WMF grants procedure is here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Index
Through I am not sure what costs would involved, if it is hosted at a
WMF wiki, and run by volunteers.
