There has been a lot of talk about how to start a journal. The real
issue in starting a journal is not the editorial board, or the way it
is published, or whether it will gather the citation impact. The real
issue is READERSHIP.
If you can get people to read the journal, then it will have editors
wanting to serve the journal, and it will gather citation impact.
The reason why WikiSym is changing is for the same reason. People are
not going to the conference! I think the attendance has been below
100 for some time now. That's not a sustainable number for the amount
of work that goes into organizing a conference.
