I'm all for that. The fact that so many academic 
events (conferences, workshops etc) still require 
the involvement of a traditional dead-tree-pulp 
'publisher' is a continuing mystery to me. 
Academic publishers like Elsevier should all be 
as dead as dinosaurs by now.    (02)

Given the ease of distribution and the fact that 
authors produce their own publishable content, 
the main burden is the organizational effort and 
(especially) the reviewing. Reviewing has always 
been the toughest part of academic publishing, 
and will continue to be. Where do we get the 
reviewers, and who picks them? I suggest we focus 
on how to answer that question first.    (04)
