- Multi-disciplinary
- Public focused, but academic structure
- Historically read by fans as well as academics
- Not yet "ranked" in the field, too new
- Very enthusiastic about doing special issue
- Also possible to include videos, images, variable length
- Advantage of online journal: possibility of doing extra issues
- Things we haven't thought of yet...
- Fan reactions
- Book reviews
- Conference reviews
Authors from outside our group
- Rule of thumb: give people summer and/or winter holidays to write their pieces
- Paper call
- Circulating the call, giving time for it to get out
- Review completed papers, or abstracts?
- Completed paper has advantage of low-flake-factor
- But how do we ensure "fit"?
- Capacity?
- How do we manage this process?
- How will we compose the call?
- Linking to some of our existing work
- CfP can be targeted specifically to certain people/groups
- In-progress and abstracts

Accountability

Regular group meetings

Basecamp
- Decentralizing the project management

- Cost: extra work, time to keep it updated
- Benefit: institutional memory
