The paper is in CommentPress &#8212; unfortunately not the <a href=\"\/blog\/archives\/2007\/02\/commentpress_update.html\">new version<\/a>, which we&#8217;re still working on (revised estimated release late April), it&#8217;s more or less the same build we used for the <a href=\"\/iraqreport\">Iraq Study Group Report<\/a>. The exciting thing here is that the form of the paper, constructed to solicit reader feedback directly alongside the text,  actually <i>enacts<\/i> its content: radically transparent peer-to-peer review, scholars talking in the open, shepherding the development each other&#8217;s work. As of this writing there are already 21 comments posted in the page margins by members of the editorial board (fresh off of last weekend&#8217;s <a href=\"\/blog\/archives\/2007\/03\/mediacommons_editorial_board_convenes.html\">retreat<\/a>) and one or two others. This is an important first step toward what will hopefully become a routine practice in the MediaCommons community.<br \/>\nIn less than an hour, Kathleen will be delivering the talk, drawing on some of the comments, at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/college\/humanities\/projects\/?archive&#038;events\">this event<\/a> at the University of Rochester. Kathleen also briefly <a href=\"http:\/\/mediacommons.futureofthebook.org\/blog\/2007\/03\/29\/scholarly-publishing-in-the-age-of-the-internet\/\">introduced<\/a> the paper yesterday on the MediaCommons blog and posed an interesting question that came out of the weekend&#8217;s discussion about whether we should actually be calling this group the &#8220;editorial board.&#8221; Some interesting <a href=\"http:\/\/mediacommons.futureofthebook.org\/blog\/2007\/03\/29\/scholarly-publishing-in-the-age-of-the-internet\/#comments\">discussion<\/a> ensued.
