Discrete Analysis — an arXiv overlay journal

This post is to announce the start of a new mathematics journal, to be
called Discrete Analysis. While in most respects it will be just like
any other journal, it will be unusual in one important way: it will be
purely an arXiv overlay journal. That is, rather than publishing, or
even electronically hosting, papers, it will consist of a list of
links to arXiv preprints. Other than that, the journal will be
entirely conventional: authors will submit links to arXiv preprints,
and then the editors of the journal will find referees, using their
quick opinions and more detailed reports in the usual way in order to
decide which papers will be accepted.

Part of the motivation for starting the journal is, of course, to
challenge existing models of academic publishing and to contribute in
a small way to creating an alternative and much cheaper system.
