I think a refereed forum -- more likely a conference with proceedings, at least at first, than a journal -- is an excellent idea. But don't underestimate the amount of work it would take, on an ongoing basis. It also takes a long time to establish enough credibility that academics would publish in it. A better path might be to carve out a niche in an existing conference or journal. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.research.att.com/~smb
