QuanTalk EU QIST Via the Pontiff, a new web-based initiative supported by the European Union under ERA-Pilot QIST grant, QuanTalk. " The purpose of the project is to provide a central facility for open review and discussion of research in quantum information science worldwide. The heart of the site is the Articles section, wherein we provide three main features, (1) Open scientific discussion of the latest research in quantum information. The system will be familiar to those who use forum systems or blogs, but it differs in its approach to permanence and accountability. (2) A community review process, open peer review, to which authors may submit their work. This feature is not yet available during the current beta test of quantalk.org. (3) An open archive where authors can deposit digital material that they wish to make available to the community. During the beta phase, hosting is restricted to PDF documents."
