Matt Mariola's recent post about a special edition of Local Environ journal, dedicated to local food systems, gave me an idea: I think there are several people around the world who might be very interested in being published in a peer-reviewed journal about Local Food Systems.

In order to get this off of the ground in an expedient manner, the journal could start out as an electric/online journal, using open source software designed to accomplish this see: http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/ and I have an exampel set up here http://www.socialsynergyweb.com/ojs/  "Opne Journal Systems" includes mechanisms for journal submission management, peer review, and extensive built-in documentation that really literally walks you through the process of getting it up and running.

Open Journal System also has all of this http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs_plugins and used by several journals http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs-screenshots

This article talks about the many different ways that OJS helps to broadcast info to open knowledge repositories about a journal that is hosted on the software http://pkp.sfu.ca/files/GettingFoundStayingFound.pdf
