Web 2.0 sites in Scholarly Publishing

Dear Colleagues,

We have recently launched two new Web sites focusing more on Web 2.0 technologies.

- www.theijs.com       
An editorial about this site can he found here: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijsu.2006.07.001

- www.wikisurgery.com     
An editorial about this site can he found here: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijsu.2006.07.002

Have any other journals lauched such Web 2.0 sites?  If so, please send me a link. What are the WAME community’s views on how we can utilise such technology in scholarly publishing?

I look forward to your thoughts.
