I think efforts like these are patches for a soon-to-be obsolete system.

Science publishing needs to look less like Gutenberg and more like Quora - way faster turnaround and less susceptible to corruption amongst overly powerful editorial committees.

Social graph APIs have solved the identity & attribution problems that prevented blogs from filling this niche (no tenure committee cares about your blog's pageviews because they are hard to assess), so we should be seeing meaningful competition soon.

I'm working on an open-source project in this space with a focus on medicine - contact me if you're interested!
