Neither money nor reviewers are really needed. The XArchiv system
http://arxiv.org/
works really well in physics and astronomy and has a sparsely used networking
component
http://arxiv.org/list/cs.NI/recent
It works well if heavily used because it is open to any submission (including corrections
of previous submissionns) and because many papers are eventually published in print journals.
