They have an automated metadata service that might create some visible value and coolness to the UI.

We might be able to get this for free for the experiment.

Any thoughts?

It’s fully open-source CMS for publishing.

http://openpublishapp.com/

It connects to Disqus for discussion threads and does about 80% of what we were talking about in the room.

I’m asking them about connecting up DOIs.

Anyhow…Something to consider for the future.

NOTE: I just spoke with Ian, and he would be happy to be in the loop on our project.  He said that the Stanford Highwire service is porting over to Drupal.

How can we include him in our discussions (if the group wants to do so)?

Aimee Morrison has a good rant on her most recent experience with a high impact journal:

This looks like a hybrid approach to avoiding the false scarcity of print journals when porting publication to the web.
