Hi Milos,
a small-scale version of something like this is on the verge to actually happening with PLoS Computational Biology: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Molecul... and slide 40 at http://www.slideshare.net/pebourne/ten-simple-rules-for-open-access-publishe... , given yesterday as part of http://oaspa.org/coasp/program.php . Dario and I are at that meeting with Phil, and we have been discussing the project in quite some detail, with a number of things still to be worked out.
Will try to report more next week.
Cheers from Tallinn,
Daniel

Goran and I were talking yesterday and it reminded me on the need which I have from time to time in relation to the Language committee: Wikimedia peer reviewed journal. A couple of months ago I thought to push it as Language committee issue, but yesterday we've released that it's more logical to have it under RCom umbrella.
The journal should publish papers needed by Wikimedia. If we need a research or even a review about anything, we could offer to a researcher or scientist publishing the paper in our journal (of course, if it passes some minimums). Creating infrastructure for peer reviewed journal shouldn't be too hard or costly.
Thoughts?
