Collaborative Anthropologies is a new journal published by the University of Nebraska press, to be published as an annual. The editor is Luke Eric Lassiter, someone whose focus in numerous publications of direct relevance to this blog/project has been collaborative anthropology.
The description of the focus and intent of the journal is as follows:
Collaborative Anthropologies is a journal meant to engage the growing and ever-widening discussion of collaborative research and practice in anthropology and in closely related fields. Published annually, the journal:
-
facilitates dialogue about collaborative anthropologies, including but not limited to those between and among researchers and their interlocutors, anthropologists and other scholars/practitioners, academics and other professionals, universities and local communities, faculty and students;
-
embraces a special focus on the collaborative research between and among researchers and communities of informants/consultants/collaborators, but is by no means limited to this focus;
-
promotes discussion about new forms of collaborative research that are engendering new kinds of collaborative anthropologies;
-
charts new theoretical and methodological approaches, especially those that theorize collaboration and imagine new intellectual spaces for collaborative anthropologies;
-
invites essays that are descriptive as well as analytical/interpretive/exploratory;
solicits works from all subfields of anthropology (and closely related disciplines); -
encourages interdisciplinary inquiry into collaborative anthropologies, especially those that connect collaborative anthropologies with other modes of collaborative research practices;
-
seeks a diversity of perspectives on collaborative research, including those academic, applied, and pedagogic;
-
considers scholarship from single to multi-sited in scope and from all parts of the world; and
-
includes book/media/exhibit reviews that chronicle the creative and innovative use of collaboration in anthropology and closely related fields.

Interesting post, you might find the http://www.researchcrossroads.com website interesting. We’re trying to implement many of the items you suggest in your post.
Also, from the UCSD super computing center, SciVee.tv is a video implementation of research publications that I find very interesting: http://www.scivee.tv
