Initially I thought this would be a free system for paper publishing which would let all new papers published to be available in public domain.

Why doesnt such a thing exist by the way?

Well, there's http://arxiv.org .

And of course, anyone can put anything they want on the internet, which is a form of publishing into the public domain. If you mean, publish in such a way as to get read and become part of the academic literature, that's another story.

I'm talking about fully peer reviewed with conferences and the whole shebang ... Its really the only way to get that knowledge out into the public domain.

I've had this same thought many times.
