Just curious what other scientists think about the "fully open" and "peer review of peer review" website Peerage of Science. If you don't know about it, here are a few links explaining it:

Do you think Peerage of Science is useful and will solve some of the problems of traditional peer review journals? What obstacles do you think this model faces?
Seems a reasonable initiative, yet, why would journals be interested in publishing manuscripts that have already been seen by so many scientists, and does this not violate the "no prior publication" -term most journals have?
I guess there are similar questions about the bio arxiv, in terms of prior publication?
I think that it is a worthy cause to support. I am hoping for more researcher from social sciences to participate in the movement.
