The cost of starting a new on-line journal?

08 August 2014 0 5K Report

I am trying to start a new journal. I hope to make it free-open access if I can raise funds for that. Does anyone have any idea how much that should cost? What's the minimal stuff? 1 full timer? Two full timers? Do you normally pay the chief editor?
