thanks Chitu, although it is totally not my field, it looks really interesting!
I know this is an old branch of this topic, but since it generated quite some interest on this list, I thought I'd share this excellent article I recently found on double-blind vs. single-blind reviewing. It addresses most of the issues that were discussed in this sub-thread.
In brief, the editor of a prominent computer science journal recounts his exploration on which way to go with his journal. The journal decided to go double-blind because of its benefits (mainly protecting less powerful researchers), but his journal has a very detailed set of instructions (in the appendix) that do an excellent job addressing computer science projects that are difficult to anonymize, which I think are very much applicable to a wiki-based journal as discussed in this thread.

If you don't have access to the ACM Digital Library, you can get a PDF of the article from Google Scholar.
