I wonder whether we could funnel this discussion thread into the foundation of a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal for critical media studies that maintains high scholarly standards but serves both institutional and non-institutional communities. Such a journal seems to be missing anyway. Clearly, Nettime itself, although it once had been founded with the ambition of collaborative filtering, can't serve this purpose. I once contributed to a German-language Open Access journal for feminist and gender studies, http://www.querelles-net.de, and was impressed by the standards of its editorial process and the web-based software written for it. So there is a technical infrastructure, and editorial experience, that could be built upon.
