Hello, We have the arxiv preprint server, and other preprint servers. Why is this not sufficient? Because the papers are not refereed and subject to being made better through the work of editors (not that they always improve things). What about having an editorial board, which would look at papers on the arxiv, say, have them reviewed and revised, and then put them back on the arxiv in final form, and listed elsewhere as having been through that process and "blessed" so to speak by the editorial board? What we would all like to have is more prestige for having our papers blessed, and hopefully, read by somebody. In this proposal, the quality of the editorial board's work and the usability of its published listings would be the most important thing. They could even give a negative recommendation for someone's paper, although authors might hope for the opportunity to withdraw their paper if they didn't appreciate the final recommendation. The pulbished listings could include more information than just an up- or down- recommendation to read the paper, it could include comments by other mathematicians. Bill Rowan
