If "wiki" means quick then it would be quick in that the time between 
writing and full publication should be much shorter than traditional in print 
journals.

If "wiki" means anyone can edit it, then it wouldn't be a wiki.
If wiki only means that *you* and your *peers* can quickly edit it online 
in a collaborative mode, than it would be a wiki.

I would think the hardest part would be the start-up.  Who are my peers?  
Who judges that?  What if I complain that Bozo the Clown isn't my peer at 
all?

Who decides that my article has had enough reviews and can now be 
published?

Those sort of things need to be worked out more betterer.
