The idea is not new: Somewhere at the fringe of science, someone will start using wiki publishing for science publishing. — John Schmidt (2006)


Because for practical purposes we can define publishing to include, along with page design and typesetting, the functions of editing, manufacturing, advertising, selling, warehousing, shipping, billing, collection, and other aspects of "valued added" and "Who will keep the gates? How? To what end? — Jack G. Goellner (1988; 2010 wiki version)


Apparently, people are realizing that a much more open post-publication peer review process, where anyone can take part, is a lot more effective —  Mike Masnick (August 2010)
