A question remains, whether starting a new journal from the scratch has additional benefits over supporting an already existing "Journal of Peer Production".
I just had had an abstract [1] rejected from JoPP, so I can attest that JoPP are doing their job with some degree of fidelity. I also learned that for special issues, the guest editors make the call [2], while for non-special issues they have a more complex (and interesting) process [3].
Since the current special issue is about free software, it may be that my proposal would have been more suitable for a non-special issue. (Note that, depending on the definition of "wiki", my particular paper might not fit well in a journal or issue "just for wikis" either!)
In any case, I'll be watching this conversation as I think about where to submit the final MS.
Thanks!
