Planning a Draft-Sharing and Informal Peer Review System for Philosophers

About this project:

Academics already solicit and offer each other informal feedback (i.e. outside of the journal peer review process) in a number of ways -- sending drafts to friends, presenting at conferences, etc. But these opportunities are predictably and unfortunately limited by the constraints of existing social networks.  So it would seem desirable to take this informal process, and expand and enhance it by means of appropriate online infrastructure. We could create a website - a global database - to which philosophers could submit their draft papers in exchange for reviewing and rating others' submissions.  [See here for further background.]

Use this wiki to discuss how to turn this plan into reality.  See the 'sidebar' to navigate between specific pages.

N.B. You're welcome to join the discussion by editing any of these pages or creating new ones. But please be swift: note that while you're editing an existing page, the page is 'locked down' so that others cannot edit it at the same time. For this reason, you may prefer to draft your comments in another word processor first, before pasting them into this wiki and saving the changes.
