Many complaints are often heard about publishing in the scientific literature; it takes too long to get an article published, there is not enough page space available, page charges are too high, anonymous peer review does not allow readers or authors to gauge the quality of the review process, etc. With this experimental peer-review format, we hope to address these problems.

We invite your comments on all of the manuscripts provided on this server. Your comments will be included with the others received, along with your name and email address in the page following the manuscript. Please include the title of the manuscript to your comments appear on the right page. Authors are encouraged to respond to comments in the same way, making all of the information available in a package for readers to judge the merits of all sides of the issues presented.

Gutenberg and Dritzehn would have been pleased.
