Public Library of Science (wikipedia) journal PLoS ONE will use an Editorial Board instead of three luminary boffins (the traditional peer-review model) to Peer Review articles. PLoS ONE is an Open Access Journal - anyone can annotate and discuss articles source: SciAm.
Wired Magazine gave PLOS a rave award in 2004. PLoS posts new research online, making it available to everyone from high school students to scientists in the developing world. Authors agree to let anyone annotate, excerpt, link, and otherwise add value. And that's not all: Online readers pay nothing so its "open access." Funders of research - usually government agencies - cover the cost of publication up front.
