Earlier this week, I spoke out of turn and prematurely saying that I would set 
up the web site. Today, I am happy to confirm that I really will! :) I am 
getting started today.


Richard, you almost wrote the whole article yourself about the need of the 
Journal vis-à-vis wikipedia. Since you already have a guest writer account at 
DC, maybe what you wrote can be published there, more or less as is, with only 
a few minor modifications. Wait a few days, though, and you'll have more 
information coming from me about how to join the movement.

Meanwhile, as a temporary measure, I have published the text of your proposed 
article here:
http://elections.peerreviewed.info/

Yes, reviewers will be able to comment on the article they are reviewing (what 
needs to be changed, etc.). Users will even be able to comment on reviews. 
Soon, I'll make a very specific technical recommendation on this aspect. Stay 
tuned.
 

You all will hear more from me in the next 48 hours. The project is definitely 
on! :)

Special thanks to Jameson.
